What 1/10 RTR truck
I am after a Rtr truck for bashing about outside, mostly on tarmac and gravel. There are so many out there now.
I have narrowed it down to the following Losi Short course Associated Sc10 Losi desert truck Losi Speed T. At the moment I am leaning towards the speed T, as it comes well equipped for what it costs- probably the quickest of the bunch too. It will be running lipos. I do not want to go mad money wise as this will eat into the 'I need a Durango' budget

I'd go for the E-Firestorm Flux. They are stronger than the Speed-T, and more versatile, they will go off road and do it well! The Speed-T has shortened shocks, so for real off-road use, these will need changing.
The E-Firestrom Flux is almost as quick as the Speed T too, and uses Castle Creations electronics (a Sidewinder and a 5700kV motor), which are proven reliable and tough. The Losi electrics (an Xcelorin) can be a bit temperamental.

I have a Desert Truck and it's pretty tough.
The SpeedT and DT are the same basic truck apart from the electrics and the diffs (geared in the DT - no diff in the SpeedT). Right now I'd be tempted to go with the Losi SC or the SC10 - mainly as you racing these seems to be catching on which Although Marvin makes a good point!

I've got a Losi Desert Truck and new Strike SCT. For general hacking around, I'd say get the Desert Truck. It's quicker off the mark and rides the bumps really well. In many ways it's better than the Strike, although I like both. Anyone else got a Strike and find it a bit slow (relatively speaking)?

Agree with marvin the firestorm flux is a great bit of kit and the electrics set up gives you plenty of speed...there's also the new hpi blitz short course truck due out later this month...
If it's on a budget though Paul mentions the maverick range also from hpi which is excellent value, they have also just launched a 4wd short course truck too

Do you remember what version of the firmware it was running?
It might have been sat in the shop for a while. Either way, your bad experience does not make all losi speedo's bad. I've fried several LRP Q2's in my time, but they're still great speedo's.
