Is there already a nitro version of this SC out?

[birdy]

Looks like the chassis and most of the SC are from the TEN-T which is a 10th scale nitro truggy.

[Stu]

I wonder if there are any clues there as to what the 10th 4wd buggy will be like?

[ryanlownie]

We've already had a look at that Stu, using parts from the Ten-T on a 4WD chassis but it is a little large...

The steering parts are far chunkier than typical 10th cars and are basically a slightly smaller version of the parts seen on the 8IGHT family of cars.

It would be nice of them to scale down a tiny bit more though! :)

[Holeshot]

Hope Durango aint to much longer in bringing theirs out.

[ryanlownie]

About 1 month on that one ;)

The Durango will be better for the racers, it's just a beefed up 410R! Losi looks great for a bit of bashing too...

The durango may be a beefed up 410r, but the losi is a scaled to size 8. I'm sure it will do just fine.

Blimey!, that's a whole pound heavier than my tub (slash 4x4) and that gets a slating for being too heavy! May be that's including battery?:eh?:

With today's high-powered BL setups, and high mah lipos, it's not really much of an issue.

And I'll just suggest that the first time you run side-by-side with one, and a little overzealous fender rubbing leaves your truck out in the weeds trackside, you might take a different outlook. ;)
