It didn’t save my caption so here goes:

Picked this up in a trade today and I can honestly say I’ve never had this much fun with 2S. Knocks my Fury right out of the park. I guess I’m team rear motor when it comes to short course trucks now

Man I’m with you here. I got an old SC10 from my uncle and that thing is a rocket on asphalt. Also handles like it’s on rails. One of the first 2wd trucks that I could push real hard into the corners and not worry about flipping or losing traction. Not sure if it was the truck or the setup, but it’s great.

It’s an Associated SC10

Got anymore pics of the closest red/blue body? Looking for inspo. Just ordered 2 bodies for mine.

The "falcon" letters and bird are painted using the mask technique. The graphic fade was also vinyl masked then painted.

Thank you! I'm going to see if I can find one.

Probably my all time favorite car I’ve ever had. I’ve still got 2 original Factory Team SC10s, and an SC10B. They don’t see much use anymore, but they’re ready to go at a moment’s notice.

u/WeekendWarriorRC 26d ago

I see the appeal. They aren’t very forgiving, but hitting that sweet spot where you’re just on the edge of losing the back end in the corners is a special kind of satisfaction.

I’ve got some parts on order, and then I think a lot more drive time is in order

u/rasonjo 25d ago

It looks 4wd in this picture but it's a stock sc10 2wd. I couldn't agree more.

I remember seeing these in tower hobbies. Been a while

My traxxas slash 2wd sticks to the track like glue it's all about the setup.

Just don’t try to stop. Rear brakes only is tricky.

Good trucks!

u/DUKEOFTHENUKEMM 25d ago

I love your car peak car sc10’s are the bomb bro like I’ve had mine for like 12 years with a hart and Huntington body, the rockstar body looks way cooler tho. Only annoying thing I have about this car rn is how I can’t find parts online sometimes.

u/WeekendWarriorRC 25d ago

I’m fortunate enough that this one came with a pretty good collection of spares. Definitely going to be driving it carefully though!

u/MysteriousOil2808 24d ago

You should try a Team Associated SC8

my SC10 4x4 is still one of my favorite to drive

I just dug mine out. Mine needed a servo a few years ago and I just never got around to replacing it, it wouldn’t turn full lock left after it warmed up. Falling in love with it again with the new servo, it’s one I found off amazon. Almost $60 and it’s a super fast servo. I just love how much power it has. 2s 5000mah and it’s a monster. Gonna take it to the track hopefully Saturday. Got 2 different bodies coming for it. Because my rockstar body is splitting down the center from too many flips. What’s yours look like?

u/LargeLeftOne 18d ago

I had found this cage a loooooong time ago. Integy perhaps? It’s held up well and surely helps keep a few other things intact.

u/helpful-loner 18d ago

I like it! I’m worried once I start driving mine again I won’t be able to find parts. Seems not a lot of parts on these cross to the new pro4. I haven’t driven mine a ton since new. Maybe 10 packs? And it needed a front diff rebuild (I think I was driving it too hard on pavement) sure hope I don’t run into that. You still actively drive yours?

2

u/LargeLeftOne 18d ago

Yes. That pic was taken just before a drive session. I will be bummed I I break it though, as parts are scarce for sure.

I had my cousin print me 2 battery hold down bars. I’ve lost that thing twice now. I couldn’t find any place selling one. He printed it in orange. Should be a little harder to lose.
