Thanks Tassem, I'm a Jammin fan before i became their distributor.. Only when the market sees it, they will believe and i respect that..

I'm hoping you'd be getting their pipes as well. If you already have, please PM me some details..

@JRH: Thanks for letting me know  Smiley my comparison was more with MT's from another brand for which i was told i had to spend an additional 5k whereas it all came with the package in traxxas.

Tassem:I have a slight idea why Murli can't stock the bigger brands(in motors and ESCs).The thing is,it won't sell very well.As Murli has rightly said,our market likes RTR stuff.Thats why I believe Murli has the motors installed on request.

It will be fun to race you Murli.I will be  starting  out soon.But I have 2 more very good drivers to race.The SC class will be more interesting.

I would suggest the slash again but whichever one you do end up with,I'm sure you won't be disappointed with it Imran.

@Murli - Lol I just got the same error message trying to ping you. I think the forum messaging has gone kaput or maybe routine maintenance. Could you put your number here if that's ok?

@ JRH: It is a reputed brand, i dont know why they were not offering it as an RTR. However the 2010 model is fully RTR  Smiley Do you race in Monster truck category ?

I dont race monster trucks even though they are fun to race with.. My hands a full already with SCRT10, NEXX8, Jammin X2 CR buggy, Jammin X2 crt Truggy & 4WD FG baja.. I never expected to own so many cars, guess i have to since represent Hongnor Jammin..

Guys we have all the categories.. Electric open, Nitro buggy, Nitro Truggy, Nitro Monster truck & the Bajasss.. All timed with AMB Pro RC4..

Mugen Seiki Rules



My humble comments:

1. Imran, all depends what you are looking to do with the truck. SCRT as per all reviews I have seen are more suited to racing. Not heard of many people monkeying around on the SCRT although it can be done since its has lots of metal parts. It will certainly handle better than a Slash out of the box due to the presense of a center diff just going by the specs. I havent driven either, just commenting based on box specs. But slash has diff upgrade, so no problem. But I dont think any roadside driving will harm the SCRT or the Slash. I have tried the Slash 2WD which was fun.

2. Why havent you not considered the AE SC10? Its the 2010 ROAR SC champion. If you are serious about racing, you must consider this one also. If you are looking at importing yourself you can look at this. From what I saw at an indoor track in Vegas, SC10 ruled the roost both in the spec and mod classes. Slash have have created the class, but have been overtaken by the others. Wait till the SC10 4x4 gets to the market. All ready tested by Maifield and commented that its out of this world. Slash stands only a decent chance against a grand daddy platform which has bagged the highest amount of world championships till date.

3. If you are looking at only, I repeat ONLY,  VALUE FOR MONEY, dont look beyond Slash, you can get anything better than that. Traxxas has redefined RTR.

4. I am not sure where you got the 10K deal, but it looks very low compared to Amain and Tower. Expect a 90$ approx shipping and customs at 25% approx on total value.

5. Dont base your motor/ESC feedback on what Moiz gave. I think he was selling some stand alone units and not from the factory. Check out some reviews. I would anyways suggest a better combo like mamba/tekin. So roller only makes sense for you. Since you use high end stuff now, using a low end one is like going back to the fiat/amby days.

6. Importing Slash is a waste, dont do it. Cheaper here. I have done my home work. Ultimate/Platinum version is a diff story.

So it all boils down to personal choice and brand loyalty. Having the best car doesnt really help racing in India. You can drive the world champion car and still come last. When we all come to a stage when we are neck to neck in driving skill, then car, fuel, motor, battery, tyres etc will make a difference. For now, we all need a car that will not stall and run perfect till the race last.

Hey Guys,

Thanks for your feedback.
As i had mentioned earlier i was looking for value for money and had already mentioned my use. bashing + some track time.
@AJO:
1) I am not considering other brands as for the short course category i want somethin for which i can get spares support locally. Traxxas and Jammin are only available here.

2) Pricing on the SCRT10 is quite transparent. Considering the AMAINHOBBIES.COM prices and i hope all my fellow hobbyists are aware of the discount coupons offered by amain and tower, the scrt10 without shipping and customs costs me:
Rs. 9900 for the kit
Rs. 10780 for the rtr.
With all my experience importing my earlier cars, my shipping and customs wont cross more than another 7 Grands.
Do consider this is the amain price, towerhobbies offer far higher discounts. Also note in this deal in amain, i am not undervaluing anything nor am i evading any sort of tax.

3)The SCRT10 is a tough built car and i am considering it, but to make more sense of my rupee i will most probably import it.

4)Bombay RC hobbies, My dear friend Moiz never put in his own spec motors and esc's, it was was what the company supplied. His orders werent great enough that the company would customise cars for him. And i have received feedback from users, two of whom i personally called to review the car and help me.

Finally it does boil down to personally choice, at the moment am stuck between traxxas and hongnor. Traxxas most definately has more reach as the spares will be available locally in my own city. For hongnor i will need murali to ship out from chennai. I am inclined towards the scrt10 cos of the reviews online and will take my final decision by the weekend.
