Traction with SC18
You mentioned the tires as working well. That's one thing i noticed with 1/18th scale is that traction is often times difficult to obtain with 2wd. Could you maybe expand a bit on how it handled and hooked up on the track compared to maybe some 1/10 SC or 1/18 vehicles. I like the 1/18 scale but may have to go 1/10 for traction purposes.
No problem putting me on the spot! 
Actually, I should have said it was great. It looks awesome, handles great and AE fixed all the little problems the original RC18 series had (ie, servo saver, open drivetrain, steering system and motor arrangement.
This is the way a next generation vehicle should be.

good generalization
But when you're running a Losi Desert Mini on a dusty track all you want is traction.

Since I don't have a physics degree, though I did major in mechanical engineering, perhaps you can explain to me how working under the same parameters that lead to a lack of grip (tires, 2wd) how a larger scale electric truck can have better traction than one of a smaller scale.
