Team Associated Pro4 SC10 RTR 4x4 Short Course Truck Review and Track Test Day

In this episode we take a Quick Look at the Team Associated Pro4 SC10 RTR 4 wheel drive short course truck. This truck is a surprise review thanks to my dad wanting to get into racing and choosing to run in 4wd SCT. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised by this truck for the price. Take a look for yourself in this review followed by some track footage. One immediate recommendation, change the rear diff fluid as it is WAY too thin.

The Pro4 SC10 is a nice truck, really like mine. What do you think of the Pro2 SC10 rtr, compared with other 2wd short coarse rtr trucks.

I love the pro2, but also for nastalgia reasons as my first competition vehicle was the original SC10 in the brushless variation. That being said, compared to the likes of the Slash or the Granite, it’s far and above. The brushless system is very smooth that’s in it, tires suck as all RTR do for a track, but the servo has enough torque to whip off the big double at our local track. It’s LCG, uses all the newer nylon and bigger turnbuckle parts from the B5/T5 series vehicles, and the clip shocks are 12mm verses the old SC10’s 10mm. The caps are a harder nylon onto the aluminum body so they don’t snap off like Traxxas, the diff is very smooth and after putting 7k in it felt more like a tightened down ball diff, and the adjustability is great. I was able to even add Ackerman angle for running on carpet through the winter. For the $330 price (w/o batter/charger;$399 with) it’s definitely far and behind the slash or granite. The only thing that broke after my big weekend, plus 2 races, plus my dad running in rookie twice, was the plastic bumper spring brace piece. Oh and it has steel cvd’s instead of plastic driveshafts. All in all, it’s probably the best racing 2wd RTR out there. Plus, it has the advantage of having easy to get parts that are quite affordable. Yeah it doesn’t have the warranty on electronics that the granite has, but I personally find Reedy electronics to be of better quality. I have a review of the PRO2 SC10 as well as some build things and track footage and a race weekend vlog (no personal racing footage until I can get a go pro unfortunately). The only downfall of it compared to some high end race kits, is the fact it’s very light. We had 20mph winds during the big race and at one point a gust picked me up and had my bicycling down the front stretch before eventually tossing me off the track. That was the only issue I had. Second race out I held the lead the whole main until the last half a lap and the leader and I were 27 seconds ahead of the rest of the field, total of 19 trucks there that night so it’s quite competitive when it’s not windy.
