Do you not realize that this is based off of the 10t which is a 1/10 scale truck...a SC based off of the 10t would be perfectly legal.. the sc8 and ones based off of the rc8 just straight up don't fit in the 1/10 rules....it has NOTHING to do with how the truck is built...it is about size!

They called it a 1/8 because it fits into all of the specifications for the ROAR 1/8 class.....doesn't mean it has to be the same size as the other buggies.

This buggy would be awesome on short tight tracks because it's a little bit shorter

that being said, what the hell? how can you use a platform for two completely different classes and call it legal? not only that, i still think its lame they just remarket leftover parts from an older design as a "new" car. and if it were all about size and the rc8 based sc's being too big(hard to believe, wheelbase is identical to a 1/10sc) how would it be fair to race a 1/8 scale thats 10% smaller and two pounds lighter than any others on the market? and if it doesnt have to be the same size as the other buggies why does the sc have to? make no sense at all. typical roar stuff, smacks of kickbacks if you ask me.....

Ok, one....the 10t is a fairly new platform so what do you expect?...companies can't afford to make a brand new car every time they release something...look at 1:1 manufacturers....they all use interchangeable parts.

And the rc8 in the SC class has the issue of being to BIG...not to small....nowhere in the rules is there a MINIMUM size....there is only a MAXIMUM size

And last time i checked lighter buggies would be at a disadvantage because they will be harder to keep the power down and will slide alot.....


If you read some info from losi or watch horizons video's this was NOT meant to be a race vehicle, it was meant to be a budget friendly 1/8 rtr buggy. so why are you complaining about it being to "small"(hard to be too small when there is no minimum size requirements) for?....i HIGHLY doubt that you are going to see people going out and buying these to compete in racing events
