I put my SC10 4x4 next to a Losi 8ight-e 2.0. It was pretty darn near the same dimensions....but dimensions isn't everything.

A friend of mine turned his old RC8T into an SC8, complete with SC8 body.....it IS bigger....not much, but noticeabley.

Now that ROAR had lifted the ban on 8th scale conversions, I honestly expect to see a lightened RC8.2e converted to fit the 10th scale specs of 4x4SCT. You know every other manufacturer is going to be doing the same thing...

to me, it means a replacement parts are cheaper than maybe they should be. thanks marcus. the c-diff is worth the price to me.

No you need to cut the rx8 up a little. It and loose the fan.
I just ditched the receiver box and put it there.

I don't see the pins and some other parts as spares, so I think you are missing something.

Honestly if AE does that, and I hate to say this, but regardless of what they say at the time (ex- SC104x4 is the "indoor" vehicle, RC8 based SCT outdoor big track), the SC104x4 is good as dead.

Without it being run like a flag bearing car (and I do understand they have a lot of classes to run, but still ...), it will end up as such.

And I really hate for that to happen as I like the car.

Where did I ever say I have a problem with the truck?

I actually enjoy my Sc104x4 and want AE to put more effort into running it competitively versus being second class citizen (for whatever reason) compared to other classes. I think it has the chops, just needs more attention.

What I am stating however about what would happen unfortunately has a glimmer of likelihood of happening. Stating that doesn't change my feelings that I like my SC104x4. Considering how often I do change vehicles, the fact that I re-bought one and still have it says a lot.

As for issues it has outdoors, post pics of your track and state its conditions. Hell, give us your setup.

Guys like MantisWorx have reported issues on specific conditions that probably were not factored in to the design of the vehicle, and he is no scrub. Are those the conditions you are running in? If not, saying its "on rails" means little if its not the conditions you run in.

My other vehicle is on rails too, though, its setup would mean little on your track as its a train.

I dont think that AE will make a 8.2b conversion for sc4x4. MIP likes to do that sort of thing if it is now legit. I might expect them to make a conversion.

Well, they mainly deal with plastics. Not really sure they would make a chassis. But the towers,arms and bumpers, probably.
