1/10th Scale SC 4wd vs. 1/8th Scale Buggies

[Havoc]

Due to the retarded Texas weather we finally had our first official club race last night with the new 4wd SC trucks. It consisted of three Ofna's 10SCs and four Slashes. Both types of trucks did really well, however the traction rolling was killing us. The track was nice and sticky from the mist in the air which gave a combination of high traction and mud. I took 2nd in the A main, a 2nd to last lap traction roll cost me a chance for first place. Damn Slash took first, if we had one more lap I would have had him (maybe).

And the point of my post now, I don't quite see this "race with the 1/8 scale buggies, watch them cower in fear, blah blah blah" stuff. I raced my RC8e in a separate class last night and there is NO WAY you can compare the two. The buggies had consistently 10 second faster lap times and are much tighter in every way. That doesn't mean they are more fun than the SC 4wd's by any means, but I don't see these two racing together anytime soon.

Anyone else have a similar or different point of view?
