    Blacktop offers no give, and a tight slipper only adds to that. I've said this before, as heavy as your SC truck is, compared to my stadium truck, I can't believe they run the same tranny. "If" your REALLY going to start racing, or at least track running, get you a T4.1 Factory Team kit, build it (then you'll know it inside and out). It will handle/jump/corner much better than a SC, I'm not trying to knock your shit, thougt I wanted one at one point, till I watched them run in person. That Ofna truggy looks pretty good, but I wouldn't give up my T for one. That's just me..

    Pic don't really do it justice, the blue is really way lighter (flor sky blue) than the pic shows. This was for the guy that wanted the Red Bull theme, I had a mask cut (buddy owns a plotter) looked good, but I convinced him it was a little on the Bro side.

    Yea, I totally get what you're saying. I just think the T4 would be too similar to what I've already got to really justify buying one.. With the Ofna I'm getting 4x4, truggy, etc.... I've found some videos that show that they handle and jump really well. I'm just ready for something different.

    Apples to oranges.. That Ofna is a piece of shit... A dead class, (no one else makes one, for a reason) A T4 is nothing like a SC. If your gonna run on a track, and want the fastest, best handling model out there, well you know.

    Why? 2wd is way more challenging to master, and at least half the maintenance.

    Turns out the problem was the screws holding the diff case together backed out. Got it buttoned down tighter, working fine meow...

    But, really. For the kind of driving I like to do, 4x4 is better. It's just a matter of figuring out WHICH 4x4 is better.

    From what I can tell there's a different motor (although same size) and different servos. Someone said the lexan on the body is thinner, as well.
