Some people take this stuff too seriously.
Rick was just sayin their truck should be faster than the Jammin or Ofnuh. He never said "OFNUH AN JAMUN AN LOWSEE SUCKZ, BAI ASOSEEATUD"
All of them are badass trucks, in their own right.
ThunderbirdJunkie has always been stuck as a Losi guy racing Associated cars. He likes Losi's stuff, a LOT, and has recently made the switch to the XXX-SCT and retiring the SC10 to basher duty.
Is that saying the SC10 sucks? Absolutely not.
But, again, if you want to split hairs...Associated did something that Losi didn't...and that's why ThunderbirdJunkie has the Associated truck on preorder.
Having both the SC10 and the XXX-SCT...he'll probably have the Ten-SCTE before too long after getting the SC10 4x4...but there is absolutely no reason to bring brand-bashing into this argument. RC cars have gotten so good over the past decade that it doesn't matter if you're running an RC10B3 or an XXX-CR in 2w buggy, or an XX-T CR or RT5 in 2w truck, if you're a good driver...you will win. Period.
The brand-bashing needs to stop. There's no reason for it. Everything now is awesome. Deal with it.
