    So the T4.1 did good, just heavier oil, stock rtr tires and new ugly body, left everything else as I had it setup for dirt, managed to get a 3rd on A. I was glad to run it as it had been sitting in the closet for months, really had a lot of fun with 3 qualifiers and the main. I need at least 2 more lipos and maybe a better servo (but not sure what to get). The carpet ate the tires so I need to get myself some at least half worn rtr tires.

    ya did just get the truck but my shocks fell apart due to screws inside the shock body not being thread locked when built and my belt got shredded for some reason?? my servo should not have as much play.. i feel like i got a defective truck :( the new body is my fault though and the tires and wheel purchase are not needed unlike everything else

    seems weird is falling apart so soon, where are you running it? If your doing any kind of bashing that might explain it from what ive read sc10 are great racing but cant take bashing. I took my slash to the skate park aftert running it at the track, went up in the air landed on every possible side and nothing broke, then again theres plenty of rpm parts on it :D
