Hey guys, Im thinking about getting a second hand SC18 very cheap,
$50
what are they like? pros/cons?

all i would be doing is racing a mates 1/16 summit on a indoor carpet track and general bashing around home and parks

I don't  have one but for the price what does it include? If it doesn't require $100 to get it working then looks like a good deal.

phmaximus

thanks for the reply,
but im not asking if its a good deal or not, for $50 u cant go wrong. but to awnser ur question, its only been run a few times inside only and one of the shocks needs repairing. so its a rolling chassis with motor, servo and battery. it might need a ESC, but i plan to fit a HW 25a combo anyway
the guy said its in very neer new condition. Its from a facebook site im a moderator, creator and owner on

im more intrested in the pros/cons?. are these as good as im reading

I've heard good things regarding durabilty. The drivetrain is belt but is well sealed from the dirt. They have good handling compared to other vehicles in its class

However some complain that they find that the top speed is slower than the shaft driven brothers due to the nature of belts (absorbing strain of the drivetrain). Its really not suited for almost any offroad driving, best keep it on pavement or maybe hard clay as the ride height is really low. Overal its a solid performer if your into the mini stuff,

Then again this is stuff I've heard/read/eavesdropped

wow dident know that?? I allways thought belt was faster?

I know the SC10 4wd is great once its dialed in correctly

I plan to run it at home & on a carpet track, so with any luck it should be ok

I'll echo that it's SUPER low. It's like a touring car with off road tires and body. However, it might be quite awesome on a carpet track.

Lol guys, u crack me up.

The shocks are not fitted

If u look carefully u can see 1 is 1/2 fitted and the other 3 are off the car

Haddi Taha

hahaha, even with the shocks mounted its not very good in dirt, grass. Then again this is all things I have heard<div></div>

phmaximus

well cant expect much from something that small....
im trying to cover all my bases with SCT's I need something inbetween the Slash and the micro losi.

If i get this I will have a 1/5, 1/10. 1/18 & 1/24 how cool will that be... all i will need then is a SC8

Haddi Taha

This will definely feel that gap well. Its associated so parts are everywhere.

I'm not saying it's low in the picture. I'm saying it's low from my own experience with the truck.
