Can you race with a RTR RC Truck? Team Associated Pro2 SC10 First Race

[@RazorRC]

Nice run, especially if you drove with the stock radio! Clean laps, that was an excellent race. Footage from the car was great!

[@SnoriRC]

Ageeed - that on board camera stuff was awesome. Like F1 (almost!) 👏🏻

[@RoadsideRC]

Thanks! Yep - stock radio also. Looking into some basic changes to make it a little better...but honestly it seemed rather easy to drive!

[@akimrc]

@@RoadsideRC The stock electronic have DVC/adjustable gyro. That is not alowed in most races...

[@RoadsideRC]

@@akimrc Yes - and you can disable it, which is what I did before the race.

[@jaysonhoover4328]

Awesome job! You did some mighty fine racing! So cool seeing box stock trucks race like this. Gives ya a good idea that you can compete very cheap! So cool.

[@RoadsideRC]

That is EXACTLY what I was going after. Thanks!

[@bustedaw11]

Whish they'd do a spec class using these sc10 instead of the slash.. the sc10 is sooo much better for it. Slash is nothing but a wide chassis stampede with a fancy body.

[@exp2tr10t]

Amazing what a good set of tires will do on a bone-stock truck. Nice driving!

[@RoadsideRC]

Yes! Tires are soo important!

[@rcHobbyClips]

Nice Race! 😀 I'm thinking this will be my next buy!

Do you have examples of the wheels you are talking about?

[@michaeldorich4485]

I think this is a great idea. The tires seem to work well. The original SC10 was a very good truck. Still have my original one. I have found that with RTR's is not unusual to be missing a small screw or that a screw is not fully tightened. Thanks for sharing.

[@RoadsideRC]

thanks for the response! If you have your old truck - sounds like it is time to get racing! :)

I race a heavily modified Associated rb10 in 17.5t sportsman and a heavily modified Traxxas rustler in stadium truck at my local carpet track and have a great time. And do pretty well against the competition. RC is all about having fun.

[@RoadsideRC]

I agree! As long as we are having fun - that is the important part!

[@vincevargas7892]

Great Run...I like the entry level Rigs. Made me think about my 2 HPI Blitz I have. 1 black, 1 white chassis trucks.i gotta get them going

[@Storyracing387]

My first race truck was a Slash 2wd. I've since turned it into a brushless mod buggy. The Slash and SC10 are similar. In my experience, I found tires and shock settings to really helpful. Very fun to watch thanks!

[@RoadsideRC]

Thanks for the feedback! I am actually curious to put this head-to-head with a 2WD Slash. My experience says this is a much better truck...but it has been YEARS since I had a 2WD Slash in my hands.

[@Storyracing387]

@@RoadsideRC it will be interesting to watch for sure! 👍

[@Guitardrumr]

@@RoadsideRC Stock RTR 2wd Slash still comes with the high CG chassis, and there is no comparing that to the Pro2. Pro2 is light years better. But even the LCG chassis conversion for the Slash, the Pro2 is going to be better. Lighter, and better suspension geometry, and generally better design. I say that as someone who spent a long time trying to make a 2wd Slash run with the rest of the 13.5 SCTs.

[@billynoresco6370]

One of my favorite trucks. Rear motor, easy to work on, shit ton of upgrades, easy to drive, and race-able in most cases. I have an outdoor setup with a ball diff, c and d blocks, bell cranks, 1258tg, and version 2 shocks all around and threw a 13.5 in it. Dialed

[@RoadsideRC]

Nice! Which change made the biggest difference for you?

[@henrylicious]

These are solid rigs I have a couple. My kids usually race them. The out of the box setup works well for outdoor tracks once you get the correct tires.

[@RoadsideRC]

Tires make a HUGE difference!

[@pieroges]

Hi. What should be the right tires

[@RusstickDoom]

Thanks so much for this video. After watching I bought this exact truck. I actually love the paint scheme. I’m a pro basher, but plane to make improvements you suggest. Ha! Pro-Basher 😂😂😂

[@RoadsideRC]

Thanks 👍

[@JABzHobbies]

The SC10 is king & has been sense the start of SC RC racing. I raced the original SC10 for 6 years & stayed competitive the whole time. Finneshed 3rd in points the final year I raced it. They are easily tuned to any track & the aftermarket is bountiful to keep them relevant to newer cars.

[@RoadsideRC]

I sure hope mine does just as well!

[@JABzHobbies]

@@RoadsideRC you did great. I've seen reviews on that track with comparison to the Losi & everybody seems to really like the SC10. I think RPM makes the best upgrade parts for when the stock parts brake. Other than that it's all about tuning(tires,shock oil/springs, gears, & maybe a quicker servo) & that just takes time getting to know your driving style. Most important thing is keep it fun. Good luck have fun and keep up the great content.

[@AV-RC]

I just picked up this truck and I’m loving every second of it. I’m also building a 1/8 scale associated four-wheel-drive, buggy race, but this one is just scratching that itch. I’m curious of what tires you ran on the car?

[@RoadsideRC]

Hi there! Glad you are liking it. Honestly, I have run a lot of different tires - usually the ones the fast guys are running at the track. This was a set of Pro-line tires.

[@bustedaw11]

I believe I've read that the ball diff from a b5 will drop in no mods. @razor rc? I think I read him say that on the forum. Great job though, I'd love to see the associated truck start getting some love

[@RoadsideRC]

Thanks! I'll make sure to check that out. It is basically the same as a DR10, so many parts are interchangeable.

[@AV-RC]

How did you get the front end to bite? Is it different wheel width in the front? I had to go back to the rtr tires in the front to get any grip

[@RoadsideRC]

What I found: this truck has A LOT of steering angle. It is very easy to over steer the front end going into the corner. I found less steering = better handling = faster corners.

[@theRCLlama]

Just curious what tire and wheel combo that is? I have a trophy Rat and I wanna go racing with it 👌👌

[@saintbroseff]

@ i want to get into short course racing and this video was perfect. Im looking at either this truck or the slash vxl. How is the aftermarket for the team associated trucks?

[@RoadsideRC]

@saintbroseff Honestly - if you are looking at getting into racing, then you want to see what your local track runs. IF they have a spec-Slash class, then it could be fun. Otherwise, the Slash is useless on a track and you will be embarrassed quickly. This Team Associated will get you started cheaply so you can get a feel for it. But - instead of throwing $$ at it in upgrades, I would practice driving and save $$ for your next chassis. Many other companies make dedicated race kits, and that would be your next step instead of spending more on this one.

The pro sc10 is just a b4 t4 race chassis. The sc10 was a race truck before it was a rtr lol. U are just driving a old race truck with rtr shocks and electrics unlike a slash that was never a race truck. And that's how spec slash came about. There not good enough to compete at a pro level except against there selfs lol

[@RoadsideRC]

Pro-level - of course not! But - at a local level, it is a super-cheap way for someone to get started. I've raved it twice, come in 2nd both times!

[@jeffbryner5355]

@RoadsideRC second is first loser. If your not first your last 🤣. I run a slash in a dirt oval sc street stock class it does ok at a club level but you go to a big race amd good luck. The tunability is not there compared to the others unless you have all aftermarket stuff and at that point you might as will get a race kit.

[@chaoticadventure]

[@RoadsideRC]

They are VERY different vehicles. The TT Pro is 4WD. This truck is 2WD to race in that specific class...

It sucks that sct racing isn’t as popular as it was yrs ago,it’s my favorite racing. Horizon hobbies/TLR is discontinuing the TLR sct22 3.0 & probably scte 4wd 3.0. The sct22 for sure. Those are some awesome platforms for how old they are. They are actually super cheap right now”kit versions” because of that,all most half price,you should check them out! I’ve had mine for 2 yrs sct22 3.0 & scte 4wd 3.0 they are amazing!! Thinking about picking up a couple more kits of each lol. Just cause they are that good & cheap!! Great vid & ya this sc10 is super capable!!😉👍🏼

Thanks! Are you racing yours?

[@adamrodgers2377]

I'm not sure where you live but hear in Eastern North Carolina 2wd and 4wd SCT racing happens just about every weekend. In the summer it's outdoor tracks and winter it's still some outdoor tracks but mostly indoor tracks. Where I live there are 6 nice Hobby Shops with AWESOME tracks with in a 100 mile radius and one of the nicest and most popular is just 20 minutes away. Sure hope you can find a place to race them because it is so much fun. ✌🏼
