A beginner in the off-road class wants some input / ideas / hard information and general discussion comparing the Slash with the Associated SC10. I'm on the fence as far as which way to go.

Slash, More durable. You did say your a beginer in offroad.:thumbsup:

slash for sure , way more durable ..........we slash bash and there a blast

I'm not sure about the durability part. Most slash owners I know replace the stock parts with RPMs. I've yet to break anything on my SC10.:thumbsup:
You can't go wrong with either one.

true that!!!
you cant go wrong with either one!

my 2cents?
I run slash and t4 they dont handel the same!
Im sure the sc10 and t4 would be closer in the way they handle!
so if you plan on running something more than just core trucks?
you should buy the sc10..
just my 2cents

I think the Slash is better for the beginner racer since more track's are trying to keep this class "stock". I have both, the Slash is closer racing, with less adjustment's, however the SC10 is a different animal. Tha class is more of an intermediate level on. Get both and take a kid with you, good racing.:)

yep thats what its all about!!!

Slash.

i prefer the slash cause with a slash u just pull the trigger and go and never let up with the sc10 its all about finesse it dont handle anything like a t4 because of the transmission so i would but a slash

Thanks everyone for the input. I'm going to buy the Slash, it sounds as though that would be a beginner's best bet....especially if I can't go wrong with either one! I'll likely be back with more questions, thanks for the help.

Yes they are 2 totally diff trucks-
One is a tough basher and one is built with a racing background.
If your going to Bash and not race seriously buy the Slash.
If your more into racing buy the SC10.

Looney, Here is that Battery Brace I was telling you about. It is hard to see but it works nice.

Hershey-

Can you give me some info on that brace? I hate the stock one and that looks like the answer! :thumbsup:

I had it cut out on a Lazer of 3/32 Lexan. I will se if I can get any more cut. But I have one left but it hs my name etched on it. My dimensions were off slightly only about .30 off. If I can get anymore cut it will be fixed. But they work nice. I even trimmed one for a T4 brace too.

You need to try and make some and sell them @ Jones...:thumbsup:

I'd be interested in one.:thumbsup:
