And if you are not going to go AE after this, I kind of laugh atcha' man. Losi has gone above and beyond with their new 22's and they still get stomped by good drivers and a 15 year old design. Ae has it, They just went too far out of the box for this (this) chassis.

Not really, that's an uncontrollable consequence.
You want the suspension to do the work, that is a controlled value, can't tune chassis flex with different oils, springs, piston hole size, or droop setting.
The scte guys are confused or someone's just selling parts to sell parts

The only reason the Losi is better is because it's a scaled down 1/8 scale design which was proven and which is what AE should have done. They designed it more for indoor tracks not for outdoor which the majority of us run.
Now they got setups for the Losi on indoor and they are dominating in that arena too.
The b4,b44, T4 are designs that are still winning the majority of the races. SC10 is still no1 but not for long the 22SCT is starting to shine now.

I feel good sticking with my Ae because they have always proven to be my best choice all though these years ...
I have confidence because Ae is always making running changes & improvements..
When I place my truck on the clay guys ?
Never wondering about what the other guy has .
Learned though experience Ae
will take care of all my needs for speed .....:batman
Jeff

Who's the Sc4x4 National champ guy ?

Every one of the joke's posts are the same read. 
End of the day, it comes to the Club Racing around the country that decides a Car's effectiveness and not a sponsored driver. And at the end of that day: The losi wins 3 to 1.
(When/If Short course goes IFMAR, I will rescind the statement)
If no one ever won with the chassis, then maifield ran and won once, he'd quote it as if it was our fault.
(for the record, I TQ weekly and do very well but no one comes close to the top 4 or 5 losi drivers around here (who have removed the SC10 from their garage and started podium'ing with the Losi)

BINGO!! You are correct, this is also practiced in E buggy where most run an aluminum front brace and a plastic rear brace to give more rear traction. much like on road TC. Outdoors on asphalt you want a flex chassis and on carpet you want the stiffest chassis you can get to take traction away. You cannot tune chasis flex with the suspension, its a relationship between the front and rear that can only be adjusted via flex. this is why the SCTE has diffferent chassis options for flex. This is one thing that differs from 1:1 racing to RC, a "flex" chassis will be faster on a loose track, this is a fact!!

It's an all out war in sedans to become the thinnest, narrowest, and most flexy. The new TCXX feels like I left the top deck off my sedan, and I have the Exotech chassis on it!

I have 6061 and 7075 alum in stock. Will prob go with the 6061 for the first one... Its cheaper and I have alot more of it. The one that will go on my truck will be made from the 7075, It is a tougher alum that leaves a much better finish... @ilan once I get them made you just let me know if you need one I will send it to you...

I love my sc10 4x4. I enjoy working on it, tuning it and running it. Even if I'm not winning it doesn't matter, the pleasure is in the challenge getting it right and driving your heart out.

So my AE is on the auction block, after wheeling my mugen conversion this truck will be collecting dust on the shelf so I might as well off it.
Every hopup you could throw at it, complete strc catalog (except shock body & adj collar). Hard ano shock bodies, ti-ni everything (new), shiny bones & light weight outdrives. C-Diff & 2 stg pistons, rpm arms, all new Avis rev bearings and another complete set of AE bearings, T-Bone bumpers... list is long. Tons of spares too. Fresh +3mm hazards with gold bar codes and another set of fresh blockades.
Just did a complete tear down and bottom up refresh, it's pretty much a brand new truck. About half a night of practice on the truck.
How much should I list it for? I don't want to start too high and not sell it, but then again, I don't want to give it away either... I just spent about $150 on the refresh.
Help pricing this would be appreciated
