Thanks, I think I'll leave the inside locked, with the overdrive up front it kinda pulls the rear end straight, seemed to work pretty well on our loose bumpy outdoor track.

now that would be funny!


Hopefully this is a sign that the SC10 4x4 will get "chosen" to be ran more often at major events by more AE drivers than what has been going on.

Ae already has been sending their factory's drivers all over the country to Sc4x4 events...

What more could they do ?

you know what I mean WC ... it has been discussed at length concerning the top dogs not running the SC10 4x4 at events where they run other vehicles ...

Now, I unlike some others agree that we can't expect them to run every single class, sure. But, like others, I was a bit surprised that AE's latest vehicle wasn't as much of a priority for the top drivers to, well, drive.

Anyway, I hope this is a sign of a change coming in the importance of running the vehicle by the top drivers, especially where the track conditions are the ones complained about that the vehicle is at a disadvantage. That's where us mere mortals for one need help from AE. And unlike others, I believe the vehicle CAN be made to be the top in those conditions.

But regardless, I am very happy for AE and I am not surprised either, the car has it in it to win it!

Your only under rating the rest of Associated's drivers abilities ...

Those other drivers play just as important roll in the development of Ae products as the Ryans....

+ 1

and lets face it. if a guy comes up to a hobby shop and wants to buy a SC 4x4. biggest chance is that he gets a losi.

when the Best AE drivers drive the SC10 4x4 more and win more big races like the reedy race, cactus classic and so on.

AE will sell much more SC10 4x4's
