Depends....does he like running things over, or driving with skill?
Kidding....mostly.
The SC104x4 rewards smooth, articulate driving....
The Losi rewards aggressive, balls to the wall aggressiveness....
To each his own....but I would rather be a racer than a redneck wifebeater..... (ooooh...was that a little off colour?)
We have 1 (ONE) Losi at our track....4 SC104x4s...a couple of Ofnas and a couple of Slashes..... The SC10s are consistently 4 of the top 6...the Losi is either 2nd or 2nd last..... depending on what broke.... one of the Ofnas is consistently a half lap (on 50 second laps) ahead of everyone but the guy could be driving a 2wd strike and still kicking our butts.... the other Ofna is usally right in the middle of the pack...
I much prefer the driving style of the SC104x4....but have only ever driven it, or a Slash 4x4 VXL....on 3S.....which is not really a racer, but a crap ton of fun!
This vid is of a Slayer running a custom .21 engine....and I have to say, the Slash on 3S is just as rediculous....I cleared the back triple and left tire marks on the "Fountain Tire" (Yellow) banner at the top of the trailer....
Moral is....do you want to just plain have fun "bashing" on a track, or do you want to be a competitive racer....
If you want to be a competitive racer, are you Kyle Petty, smashing your way to the front, or Richard Petty, respecting other's racing lines and trying to find the fastest way around the track?
Bashing = something Traxxas with some rediculous motor+battery or engine
Kyle Petty = Losi
Richard Petty = AE
And....well....the Durango has got to be Lee Petty....competitive....old school ideas...if you're used to driving saddle packs in another class, and want to see if it will hold up in the SC4x4 class, get the Durango.... if you don't know what Saddle Packs are...stay away!
