    Team Associated RC's are fricken awesome as well. i in no way was trying to say that the slash was better. There are a lot better RC's out there than the Slash but i have always been one to try all types. I grew up on Team Associated, shit back then that is almost all that was out there of good quality:D

    Can we go steady... J/K of course, but you did kinda scare me in an above post, when you said the "N" word, nitro. I thought you knew better.

    My back tire caught a pole at full throttle.. Time for an aluminum bulkhead!
    I've figured out the bulkheads are the weak point on the SC10. I've already replaced the front with alunminum. The a-arms seem to be pretty beefy, though.

    As I've stated before, there are some parts that are designed to break. There will all ways be a weak link.

    Haha! I was thinking the same thing. The Easy Pay option seems very tempting, but I like the Hpi Apache C1 better.

    depends on what you mean by "good". From what I can tell they're super durable, but they're obviously not a top-notch racing truck. (which is what most stadium trucks are meant to be)

    Haters gonna hate...

    There are plenty of people who do not have durability issues with their cars, their plastics are meant to be stiffer...

    The parts availability is due to Team Durango switching hands from HRP to Hobbico. Its going to get better with Hobbico

    The DEX410 is a former World Champ, Jorn would have one it last year but his ESC caught fire, Jorn just won at the Reedy Race of Champions (2wd and 4wd), Ryan Lutz is winning plenty of nitro races and short course races, and their European drivers have won plenty of races
