Short Course
Who's got Short Course trucks?
Mark and I have just got a couple, so we'll get em built up and give them a spin at TORCH sometime. Wondering if we could get enough for a heat? |

Which truck is the million dollar question... There's so many now, loads of 2wd and an increasing number of 4wd.
Personally I'm going 4wd, they seem a lot more stable on track, the 2wd's look a right handful. The 4wd choices are: Durango DESC410R Losi TEN-SCTE Associated SC10 4x4 Ansmann X4SC Pro Hong Nor SCRT10 |

Mmm................ more money needed
Losi ten SCTE Floats my boat with Durango a close second. Would you recommend a 550 or 540 size motor and what about the ESC would the 1/8 size be better or is there a lack of space? |

Probably stumping for the ansmann as my other three cars are all ansmann too, just ease of parts etc.
Usual 1/10th ESC combo seems right, 6.5 ot 5.5T for the 4WD also seems the choice weapon. |

Sounds good guys, we've got a demo Losi and a demo Durango kit waiting to be built and we'll soon have a demo Associated too.
We'll get these up and running for ourselves to race and for people to have a go too. Durango DESC410R £280 Losi TEN-SCTE £280 Associated SC10 4x4 £280 Ansmann X4SC Pro £180 !! Re the Ansmann X4SC Pro - *very* limited availability , snap one up if you want one! |

Re electrics, I hear that 'normal' 1/10th stuff works okay in short course, as long as you run fans on motor and speedo, and expect the motors to take a pounding!
I think that's the easier option to get people up and running. 1/8th setups are safer of course! But big, heavy, pricey, and you can't use them in your 10th cars! |

edging towards the Durango now...... although i like all the US accesories and extra bits for the SC10 4x4.... its a pimping paradise! (sure they are all useless tho)
hummm power coated roll cage (red).....for adding weight and rasie the centre of gravity head-lights spot-lights.... so forgetting all the silly stuff to go with, I am definately interesting in a SC10 4x4, spent most the night watch U tube vids on the thing... looks great fun.... how many ppl do you need to have a heat? 4 or 5 ??? |
#14

|

4 should be enough for a heat?
Can we have committee input on this? |

Would be good if you could get the cars down for a demo as I am sure that would be the best way to entice a couple of others to get one. If you need a test driver, I'm available Rob

My opinion only...
I am allways put off by RTR as i have never seen a stick version (I may be mistaken here), and also think its fun building them.... therefore being forced for RTR would put me off a little, and would end up stripping it down to re-build it anyway... brands in my opinion maybe too restrictive, and may also loose some personality... also this I would expect would restirct the class further too a smaller number of people, than being simply short course 1/10th. |

short course
I was seriously thinking about getting a short course truck, but i really don't know what one to get!
Associated SC10 looks good but i think that is 2WD, (me and 2WD don't get on too well), Any ideas? |
