Well, with the discovery of an outdoor 1/8th non-ROAR track withing ~40 minutes of my house where guys like to run SC's I decided to buy a 4x4 SC truck.
I considered the Losi that is due to come out, but it seemed heavy.
I thought about having an Associated, untill I saw what they were releasing (would put a puking imotocon here if they had one).
So I settled on the Ofna Hyper 10SC as I've had my Hyper 7 for years and I still have all the spare suspension bit's I bought with it, as I've never needed them.
The 10SC showed up and I was a kid in a candy store getting home to open it up.
I decided to buy the RTR as I needed another controller and it comes with a 2.4ghz unit.
I knew I would be immediately tossing the RTR ESC in the spare parts bin along with it's brushed ten cent motor...
I had such a smile on my face that I can honestly say I had a case of perma-grin like I haven't had since I was into drugs
If any of you have seen "Dispicable Me" I was like the little girl who got the fuzzy unicorn, only I was saying "it's SOOO cute!!!".
The 10SC is just like a scaled down Hyper 7! I mean the Hyper 7 is 1/8th of a real car, and everything on this is 20% smaller (1/10).
The RTR stuff really is rubbish (that's euro for CRAP), but that's no surprise.
This 10SC will get a decent radio and a MMP/2400kv SC kit and be run on 4S 2650mah 40/50C Turnigy packs.
It should balance out well as the Castle stuff weighs around 380gr and the lipo is ~360gr but a little farther off the center line.
I'll use one of the new high voltage Savox servo's for steering duties at 7v (291oz in, 0.09s)
