It's $72 off in the Microsoft Store (for Xbox One anyways)



I'm getting a different chair Friday so I'll be redoing my racing setup on the weekend, currently using a Thrustmaster TMX. As of right now I'm in the GT4 championship in Project Cars 1, and going through the career in Assetto Corsa.

Or the other "Cheater" aka smarter than the rule book of the time.

Would rather have those two gents on my side because 40+ years later still considered some of the best.

I'm not going to cheat and use the gargler to verify my memory, but didn't Parnelli Jones ( Baja racer) race a '69 Camaro Trans-am car ?

BTW did you ever get that UDR? I don't remember seeing a photo of it here...

i looked at both chargers. but found this one on ebay "used" came with everything including origonal box and all the adapters still with the factory twisty ties on it. looks to be hardly or never used.
offered $70 for it and they imidiatly accepted. i should have tried 65........

i will say the tiny footprint from being standup, and the handle are oddly really nice/handy in person

Nice! Yeah they're a lot smaller in person that I thought they would be judging from the photos.

recently we built a rc track and my local rc flying feild.

got the bug and wanted a race truck.


decided on the Losi SCTE 3.0 4wd short course.

ended up finding one on ebay, equipt exactly as i wanted it.

messaged the guy, and he said he only raced it 5 times, and quickly realized SCT wasnt for him, he prefered his 2wd buggy class. plus he had all the origonal manuals, boxes etc. which is important to my OCD ass. asked a bunch more questions, and the answers were always right.



so i waited for it to end and bid. ended up winning the truck and STEALING it.
stuff included and only used 5 times. the 1 set of tires, and batteries were never used.


SCTE 3.0 Kit - $430
Tekin RX8.3 esc - $220
Tekin Pro4 HD - $160
Spektrum SR210 - $30
Jconcept Chopper tires - $40
Jconcept Barcode tires mounted - $53
4 Falcon Batteries - $257
TLR carbon fiber battery strap - $28
TLR alum front brace - $22
TLR chassis protector - $16
Total - $1256


i won the truck the truck for $482!!!!
its flawless. looks brand new. even the tires.















not a scratch












im SO stoked! it just showed up and its perfect. brand new condition.

Damn that is a steal! The Losi is what I'd choose if I ever wanted a 4WD SC truck.

The UDR though has me smitten.

did LOTS of research

3 things kept me away from the Tekno SCT410.3 my second choice
*its a tank, which is great for durabilty, but you pay the price in weight.
*the non adjustable electronic locations. and they are also too far forward.
*because of the too far forward electronics the Tekno is known for flying nose down. i cant stand that. you can tune it out, but of course you have to give up rear traction to make it fly level. this was the biggy for me.

The downsides the losis are there soft plastics and metal. are known to develop slop quickly.

sadly Associated doesnt sell a race level 4wd SCT. i raced the RC10T back in the day.

Everybody loves to regurgitate Tekno on RCTech, but like you said, they have their drawbacks for racing. No vehicles are perfect.

I built and raced the Associated SC10 and B5M and while Associated is good I don't think their quality is in-line with Losi's. I don't know if you built any of the RC10 re-releases, but they were atrocious. Quality was hit and miss, parts didn't fit properly without modification, anodizing was inconsistent and poor quality in some cases, and Associated never made running changes to fix the issues. And some of the same issues on the RC10 Classic remained on the RC10 World's car.
