Short Course

[simoncrabb]

Who's got Short Course trucks?

Mark and I have just got a couple, so we'll get em built up and give them a spin at TORCH sometime.

Wondering if we could get enough for a heat?

[lordnikon]

Looked into getting one, i think RobW was on about it too iirc ??

[Deano577]

Me to but not for a few months

[ASKay]

was thinking about it..... a heat for them would sway me to a definate....

What short course truck would be the one to get

[simoncrabb]

Which truck is the million dollar question... There's so many now, loads of 2wd and an increasing number of 4wd.

Personally I'm going 4wd, they seem a lot more stable on track, the 2wd's look a right handful.

The 4wd choices are:

Durango DESC410R
Losi TEN-SCTE
Associated SC10 4x4
Ansmann X4SC Pro
Hong Nor SCRT10

I was seriously thinking about getting a short course truck, but i really don't know what one to get!
Associated SC10 looks good but i think that is 2WD, (me and 2WD don't get on too well), Any ideas?

Sold an SC10 4x4 to a club member today.

And we'll have 3 shop demonstrators: Durango, Losi, Associated

The Durango is obviously gonna be mine, and it's lurvely!

I'm excited!

Happy to see them running at TORCH, but I won't be in the market for one due to funds.

Clean rubbins racing

Hi all, my name's Steve and I popped along today for the first time, luuurvly set up, had a good chat with one of the committee members, (sorry I cant remember his name) mention Short Course and he said you were trying to get SC going, I am a total noooob at RC let alone racing anything but being now 48 years youngish really want to get involved! I've already ordered an HPI Blitz ESE with the new Castle Creations Sidewinder SCT Edition motor and ESC combo love the look! Look forward to meeting more of you

Ran mine for the first time today, Schumacher yellows and it handled quite well. Need to address afew bits and probably put some thicker oil in the shocks to compensate for the weight but all in all a good start

[wylie]

Some pics of finished truck, Big thank you to Apex models for giving great prizes

[Sshmuttley]

Yaaaay! Blitz ESE turned up................nice paint job Wylie...........

[wylie]

Cheers
Wanted it bright so I could see it, (old age) Sshmuttley, you are aware that no wheels or tyres are included in the kit, was recomended to get DE Racing wheels as the HPI one's will strip the hexes out quite easy also the trye of choice will probably be Schumacher mini spike for the astro turf.
Hope this helps.
Tony.
