From: Losi Racing Direct Link: Losi TEN SCTE Review by CubbyWhat’s the fastest growing class here in the good ole’ U S of A? The 4wd short course class is of course! Sporting the realism of their full sized counterparts, and 4wd systems that make them easier to drive (and more fun to bash!), it’s no wonder this genre is blowing [...]

From: Pro-Line Racing Direct Link: Pro-Line Street Fighter SC Tires Direct Link: Pro-Line Split Six SC Wheels Review by CubbyIf you are truly a core BigSquid reader, then you don’t spend much time on a track, you spend most of your time bashing.

RTR Sucks. I said it, and I don’t feel bad for saying it. So any time I hear of a kit version of any vehicle being released I jump for joy. HPI has long been cool about releasing their Baja 5 line as a kit version, so their new Baja 5SC SS comes as no surprise. Just like all the [...]

On that note ST Racing Concepts is preparing a new line of heat treated, carbon steel universal kits that are compatible with Team Associated SC10 and RC10T4 as well as the HPI Blitz and OFNA Hyper 10SC. Their new [...]
Pro-Line had gone digging through their archives looking for inspiration for their next short course tire.

LRP is ready to power your 4×4 short course truck with their new X12L line of brushless motors. When they hit shelves they’ll available in 4.5 and 5.5 turns. What makes them appropriate for short course trucks is their longer, 550 size can, which let’s them use a longer rotor and stator to generate more torque that big and heavy [...]
It’s not Team Associated’s SC10 4×4, but it is another 4×4 short course truck. German outfit Ansmann Racing is showing off their new X4TT. This is an early prototype and the specs are subject to change. But it’s for sure going to use a shaft driven drive train and be configured to use saddle pack batteries. Also the pictures show [...]
It’s finally official. Losi‘s TEN-SCTE, which has been in development for some time and been seen being tested on many tracks, is finally here and it appears to have been worth the wait.
