What is the current top 3 setups for motor/esc combo? I read a lot about the MMP + 1050, but is there something better now compared to when this thread started?

Also, what made you guys choose this truck over the Losi or Durango? My entire track is pushing the Losi on me... Even the one guy who runs fast with the SC10 4x4 is suggesting I don't go that route. I have a few things in my shopping cart, jus don't know which to actully pull the trigger on.

I've heard mixed reviews on the RX8 system, but if it IS the best I have no issue getting it. As for motors, I'm reading a bunch of stuff about different rotors etc, is there not a motor I can jus buy and throw in?

Thanks guys!

sad thing, the TT based Prolite isn't exactly a revolutionary looking design like the SC10 4x4 and as you say, drives like its on a whole new level.

Curious though how it does when hitting the heavy weight losi's. Looking forward to seeing that first hand.

Is there room for a center fluid filled diff?

Me personally, at a minimum I would say my favorite upgrade was the M2C toe in block, closely followed by the center diff and exotek chassis.

A lot of this though will be conditions based.

As for electronics, if you are unsure of the RX8 the Speed Passion GT2.0 Pro will do Pro4 motors as well as 550s. Goes for about $100. The new Speed Passion Reventon Pro can do 2 Pole 550s like the Reedy Sonic.

Personally, a good all around motor I like is the Pro4 4000kv Tekin motor or similar. A buddy of mine is using the 4.5 Tekin 550 and likes that and the Reedy from what I have read sounds good, good enough I may give it a look in the summer.

My only concern now is which ESC to get... Will the speed passions handle the Tekin SC4X motors?

Yes. I run the Pro4s, my buddy runs the Tekin 550 4.5 with his Reventon pro. I also ran the 5.5 version for a bit but the Pro4 has more torque in my opinion than the SC4X one so I went with that. Stays cool too and fits the chassis with no mods.

You can also do LRPs from what I understand.

speaking of which, anyone know id the older Sphere EScs can take 550s? I got one sitting here that came in with a vehicle, TC Spec one, not sure what all it can be used for.

here is a link to get the Reventon Pro:

I use that in the EB48 I have and have used it in a few other ESCs, works great, very smooth. It *may* work on 2S, got mixed reports on this but it is a bigger ESC, may not fit right in the SC10 4x4 without some mod.
