That's the consensus from all the the reviews I've seen too. So far it's a total beast on pavement. I've got two batteries charging and will head out to the park for more bashing this afternoon.Brendan2904 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 20, 2025 11:18 am This puts the slash to shame in my experience.

So, what did you do RC today?

I can speak as someone who owns both and has run both side by side literally.Tucsonan wrote: ↑Sun Apr 20, 2025 2:22 pmThat's the consensus from all the the reviews I've seen too.

Just don't get it tangled up with a Slash. While faster, a SC10 looks a little fragile when compared to a Slash (especially a beefed up one).Brendan2904 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 20, 2025 11:18 am This puts the slash to shame in my experience. Best RTR SCT on the market.

Re: So, what did you do RC today?
Both side by side the Pro4 is better out of the box than the slash. The biggest problem is the lack of aftermarket parts for the associated. Then again my slash was broken in half a couple of times and rpm’d out.juicedcoupe wrote: ↑Sun Apr 20, 2025 6:34 pmJust don't get it tangled up with a Slash.

I'm not saying that this is you, but just something that I notice a lot.Brendan2904 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 20, 2025 7:59 pm Both side by side the Pro4 is better out of the box than the slash.

People start out with a Slash, learning to drive and tune. In the corse of that learning, they break a lot of stuff. At some point, they decide to step up to a racier vehicle and they aren't breaking parts anymore.
The reason that they aren't breaking the new vehicle is more likely that their driving is tons better than the horror that they put the Slash through.

Re: So, what did you do RC today?
Definitely believe this to be the case. The Slash is essentially a tank on wheels, I've seen them take some serious abuse in racing at the hands of newbies. My LHS actually rents them out to people looking to drive.juicedcoupe wrote: ↑Sun Apr 20, 2025 8:19 pmI'm not saying that this is you, but just something that I notice a lot.Brendan2904 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 20, 2025 7:59 pm Both side by side the Pro4 is better out of the box than the slash.

Consistency is the key I keep misplacing.

Trimmed a fresh body for the b64d and glued up some fresh tires and wheels. Will do some final sanding on body edges and will liquid mask tomorrow.

Not today, but adding more upside down pics of my C2W painted.
Not long after paint I had too much fun and broke a front A-arm and we’re onto option parts and repairs.

Re: So, what did you do RC today?
That turned out great! Well done on the paint and the color selection.
Sorry about the arm. On a high-bite surface, using Cougar Mk1 front arms on the C2 is the hot setup according to the Brits.

I called my local Hobby Shop and asked them to order me a Kinwald Edition. I have officially given up on the Graphite.

Re: So, what did you do RC today?
Thanks 1911Colt for the compliments and heads up on the A-arms! I thought hi-vis paint would fix my depth perception but nope, I can’t see it very well on the far lap
Adding a rotated pic of the field/Mini bike track.
There is a hidden but protruding manhole cover in the tall grass that I need to avoid.
