Yeah but as much as it pains me to admit it i think the one that looks the most like a LOORS or TORC short course truck is actually the Associated SC-10 body

Hey Jeff, what kind of body are you looking for and for what type of chassis are you putting it on?

The Slash 4x4 , But Ive, already order them from Ultimate Hobbies in Orange, Ca those guys are very helpful and knowledgable.
Traxxass has a trade in program for the engine and speed control that comes stock, you take it in to your local Hobby shop that participates and for $140 you can upgrade to brushless!
Do you guys think its worth it ?

Yeah he told me... But I'm so new at this he could have said Banana Banana Banana... It would have registered in my Brain just the same.
Of course at the time I, was standing over a LOSI 1/5 scale turn key ready to go $1,500 us.

Make sure you keep an eye on the motor temps . I think Tool is running a Novak system but he should be able to help you out with proper gearing . All my trucks but my pulling trucks are brushed and the pulling truck doesn't run long enough to get hot .

Jeff, after all this RC talk I cruised in to ultimate last week. They are very helpful and the prices are the same if not less than anything online. I have RC car fever right now and I'm looking at that 4x4 really hard. May have to buy the one that already has all the upgrades. Ultimate told me that would be the best deal.
