Cool trucks man! I got the sc10e recently from the amazon sale and really happy with it! I just did the aluminum shock upgrade and made a big difference. I recently got the losi TT pro sct but haven't run it yet but looks really nice.
@@10thScaleGarage nice bro! Looking foward to it! I love mine. Best 200$ I've spent! I'm glad I got it as i had just bought the Mojave but me being a addict i couldn't pass up that deal! 🤣🍻👊
I have an ecx torment. the truck is fun. I put $250 into it to get a castle sidewinder esc and motor. it rips now. the stock servo after 5-6 years is finally going out on it. but stock, its still really fun
Dude I cant believe u 9only have 128 subs. Love the content. Your channel should blow up.. maybe a lil less montage but that's just my personal perspective.. thanks for the cool vids bro.. subbed!
Hey thanks! I totally agree with the montage thing. Looking at my analytics, I really start to lose people as soon as they roll, but It's my favorite part of the videos to make. Oh well. I truly appreciate the support!
The senten after some minor mods is hands down my favorite sct over my slash (which is heavily modified) that redcat though! Crazy fast, I know this is older but thank you for another video
I have the senton blx and the only major break I’ve had is losing a wheel... If anyone owns a blx model, beware the right rear wheel has been talked about heavily in Arrma forums. Nothing major, just needs loctite. Why they don’t loctite these from factory is beyond me but being the only issue after it’s abuse I’m very satisfied! This is my second rc I almost bought another rustler vxl tbh! Traxxas or Arrma, these trucks have changed the game especially here recently! Great vid! That slash lookin sexy thoooo 😏
IMO For racing, and if it's right out of the box, team associated makes the best 10th scale. If its bashing, the Arrma senton would be the best. BTW SUBSCRIBED! Awesome video
That Senton didn't have the off the line power but look how straight it is ;) Also, I think the Senton was made more for bashing, it's a heavy rig compared to the others ;)
@@Mrjazzzery I don't think anyone needs help with the steering unless you are doing nothing but speed runs...imo. if you plan to race the Traxxas would be a good start but if you wanna just send it every chance you get a Senton is preferred. Senton is a tougher vehicle imo but they are both good, just depends on what you plan on doing ;) Personally, I love my Senton but tend to drive my Kraton more often than any of my other vehicles ;)
I guess it depends on what you’re after...when I was looking to get back into RC 3 yrs ago I hadn’t heard of brands like Arrma or ECX...from the little I know, I think Arrma basically took what Traxxas did with the Slash and just improved on the weak points....I basically got my 2wd Slash with a brushed system for about £180. About a month in, I upgraded with a GoolRC brushless system (3s) and still it came in under £200 ...nowadays, I think Traxxas like any other company (especially car companies) keep bringing out new models which are just the same as what’s gone before but maybe changing one thing and charging more. Just need to see the progression in price from 2wd brushed, to 4x4 brushless and the newer ‘platinum’ edition. I guess what you do with it also dictates how good a product is......e.g Arrma is just too expensive, when I can and do have just as much fun for much less.
@@friktionrcthe Slash Chassis is been with us since 2008 and look at the Rustler,Bandit,Fiesta ST,Slash and Stampedes is the same chassis just the body and HD parts
@@EriMCardenasRC I'm going to have to deffer to your knowledge on when the Slash came out...I always thought it was brought out when Traxxas got involved with Short Course Truck Racing and the TORC series - basically a marketing tool to get more fans involved...and from what I imagine helped re-start the RC scene. I'm not sure how big short course truck rc racing was before then, but maybe this helped make it even bigger. As for the chassis, doesnt it varies on age of model/whether its 4x4 or 2wd? I only ask as I have a 2wd Slash, 2wd Rustler and Ford Fiesta 4wd and none of them have the same chassis and all were bought new.
Fun video, I really enjoyed it. I'm now a subscriber. Thanks for the content. Just a quick question, which Slash was that? Traxxas has like 4 or 5 of them. I'm guessing it's not the 2WD version. Thanks!
@@10thScaleGarage Ahhhh, thanks! I just bought a 2wd Traxxas Slash Kit and was looking for ideas on what to do with it. I'm still wanting one of the 4WD versions as well.
I have a slash my self and its tough and durable. Never broke any parts of it but i started upgrading it and replacing parts. I will be upgrading it to brushless. I have a 2wd version. What brushless system is the best.
I've had a few crappy rc in the past and I finally want to step up and get a slash. Do u guys think a slash is a good option if I want a rc that's quick but can also go through mild terrain. Aka dirt, light snow etc? Btw. Love the video
Hello! Thanks for the input! I have never had a traxxas slash, it is my first short cruise and for the price and reviews read on the internet, I would opt for the ecx torment, because its price, (I think it already includes battery and charger) are advantages ... Redcat does not I have so much confidence .... and arrma I have not tried it either .... (my question is is the torment still available?) or will they discontinue it? How easy will it be to find the pinions, gears, arms, etc ... greetings!
ECX is a horizon hobby brand that is only sold in stores. Parts support is decent. I’ve never as any issues locating parts, but it’s often a bit more difficult to track down than other brands.
Nice video man. I don't have any short course trucks myself but I've got two trophy trucks. The Traxxas UDR and the Losi Super Baja Rey. I was going to buy the Traxxas Slash OBA version before the UDR was released, but ended up with the UDR first. Lol. I do like it a lot. I haven't driven the Losi yet as it's more of a shelf queen currently. I want to put the 750 kv motor found in the Super Rock Rey in it before the first drive. Also want to convert it to bottom loading and paint up my own custom body.
I have a UDR, too! They are sooo seeet. That Losi looks awesome too. It was between the UDR, the Losi and the Arrma Mojave. In a perfect world I’d have all three.
I love the senton it's a bad ass truck I got the ECX and Arrma I still got my slashes but I haven't used em in a while. It's mainly my senton and ECX when it comes to them. And then I drive my kraton 6s alot lol and my team associated MGT 8.0s alot I love my nitros
I’m torn between the Tenacity TT Pro and the Traxxas Slash 4x4 Ultimate. I get that the Traxxas has better parts availability but the TT Pro looks way better. Which one should I go with and why? They’re only $50 price difference and that doesn’t matter to me.
@@mongillohockey I have a 2wd lcg brushless slash also it is bulletproof. The losi needs upkeep start ordering strut towers and center diff assembly early. But it is a beast
@@kubeanie18 Ah I see. Are those parts for the Losi a one time upgrade or a regular repair? Granted I assume it’s how often and hard you drive it, but I guess my question is more around do I buy one set of those parts you mentioned or stock pile them like ammunition in a zombie apocalypse? Lol
I enjoy my Slash 4x4. Bought it in 2014 or early 2015. I try not to think about how much money I put into it. RPM MIP Proline Tekno CastleCreatons KingHeadz STRC HotRacing RobinsoRacing as well as Revo hd clutch with maxx slipper pad mod and XO1 diffs. PureTech ProTek . What else... JConcept Parma Arrma Losi and VG Racing. I think that's the end of the list of all the companies involved in my upgrades and mods. So it is a monster for off-road bashing session, on-road racing, or rally by wapping the wheels/tires bumpers body. I thought about a HCG chassis for Stampede or perhaps Hoss. At the end of the day I kind of want to buy one of those 144001 buggies and tell myself no I'm not modding. Something I can easily toss into a backpack. The Slash is great but it's a dated design. Kinda a pain to get to the diffs, newer cars look easier to work on but it's not so bad. Oh I also have onboard audio and light kits when I choose to run them I'm not a big fan of the onboard audio at least from Traxxas. A Losi onboard audio system that allows custom engine sounds is promising but I really need to just work on a different damn car at this point lol. Sadly my turbo optimum mid Ultima and RC10 need work and restoration. I'm afraid to run them in this day and age with parts availability being what they are. I've got a few gas cars that are almost as old as I am. A Kyosho LandJump and Impacta Baja. From 1983 and 1986 respectively. I don't think you can get new/replacement chains so I'm not going to be running those until I have spare drive chains. Really looking for a new RC car... something different and a kit would be great. Perhaps something I can toss the the VXL system into. I did consider a Bandit or Stampede. Though I consider Traxxas overpriced and their business practices have made me really not want to support them perhaps something off the used market.
Holy smokes that’s a lot of upgrades. The 144001 is a lot of fun, but needs the diffs greased and you should really go over all the screws before you give her the beans. The shocks oil is a bit light for my taste, also. If you get one of those. You could modify it by just improving the shortcomings and it would still technically be stock. I know you can buy the Redcat Wendigo as a kit and add your own electronics. Arrma also has their Kraton EXB kit. Those both look like fun build that would handle that VXL system, no problem.
@@10thScaleGarage thanks for the advice and suggestions I wasn't aware that the shocks on the 144001 could even hold oil as they came. I had watched your video on the Wendigo and it didn't look like it performed very well as a rock crawler or in general and with a VXL system in it it certainly won't be a rock crawler.I don't have a censored system for any vehicle at this time. One thing that is really caught my interest of late is something like a trail truck with a fvp setup. Despite what I said about Traxxas the TRX sport looks pretty damn cool and capable. The other vehicle being the Losi super Baja Ray 2.0... I'd have to save up for a while to get that but man it looks awesome.
My Losi Baja Rey Raptor is so freaking amazing.. after 15year retirement this has been a lot of fun and a great trainer to get me back. Now I bought two Arrma Mojave v2. One I'm turning into a parts show truck Red body. and the Green one is my basher✔️😂
If you dont want it to wheely adjust the slipper clutch and make it less tight. The slash would be way faster if you tighten the slipper. Traxxas's way of doing it makes it so much slower.
The slash has been rebuilt multiple times. Reese has it pretty well dialed in. If you watch to the end of the video, we discover that the tires are pretty bald. It was close between the Redcat and the slash, but on this day, the Redcat was the fastest.
@@10thScaleGarage do you have any suggestions for 10th scale short course trucks around the $250 price range? (I'm okay with upgrading the motor, esc, ect....)
@@stellerate slash 2wd is $199 most durable car I've ever had and the velineon brushless system is around $100 i think so not to bad for price. I think for brushless that's about the cheapest your gonna get but their great cars
@@10thScaleGarage oh wow that's pretty dang good it sounds like. I will be upgrading the power setup so I don't mind it being slower, but I am glad it sounds like it handles well! I'm going to be racing against a vxl bandit on a short asphalt course haha. Thanks for the response dude, your videos are always super cool subjects that I find interesting
One of my old buddy's showed up again and he has like 5 slashes so I'm thinking of getting a senton 3s i just love armma I have a slash 4x4 3s brushless and I always break driveshafts constantly. Im done with it. I would rather spend the 140 bucks it takes to get driveshafts that will last on a senton 3s.
Nope! It has a 3500kv brushless motor and a 120 amp speed controller. I think it has a 14 tooth pinion. That’s it’s problem. It has plenty of room for some taller gearing.
@@10thScaleGarage I just bought the Senton mega but I have the brushless system just sitting here waiting to go in. I figured I'd go with the mega since it has the brushless internals. Thoughts?
@@10thScaleGarage no matter what your doing still great! Arrma senton an good beginners truck? I am 15 years old so i prob want to upgrade ot very much, so are there many after market parts?
Nothing wrong with the Traxxas! They’re really durable and parts are easy to find. The slash is like the grand daddy short course truck, but it’s definitely not the only option.
@@10thScaleGarage granddaddy for sure given its history I heard. Lol I'm coming off a Losi XX buggy I bought in 94 and hasn't been used since maybe 99... Part me wants to revive it (almost pristine condition) but other part just wants to buy new.
@@10thScaleGarage tempting actually. It's all original short of ProLine rally rear tires and white 5-spoke front wheels and it's lacking a motor. Ran a Futaba Magnum radio with it.
Nope, it’s got a 3540 brushless motor and 80 amp ESC in it. It came brushed, but that didn’t last long. To be fail, the Torment came brushed, too but that’s had a brushless swap as well.
@@10thScaleGarage I only say that cause I have the 3s senton and it’s way faster then what I seen in the video and it also has a 4s sticker on it which also leads me to believe it’s not the 3s senton
Ik what u mean by the 2wd being quick i have a 2wd rustler with a stock battery and my dad has a 4 wd rustler w 2s and my brother has a stampede with a 2s but i have the fastest car
@@10thScaleGarage yea lmfao ur the best youtuber ever never seen one that actually responds to every comment out tries this hard for fans love you man no homo and cant wait tell you make the vid on that wl toys one my lil nephew has been wanting the small green veraion for a ehile but we might try to get him the big purple one so ill be waiting on that review
They get way more expend than a Traxxas slash. My Losi was more expensive than all of these. It’s also way better. I’d like to do this video again with a new selection of trucks.
Maybe. Keep in mind, it’s the only one with stability control built in, and the parts support is pretty unbeatable. I agree though. The Senton is my fav.
Zero?! The Smashing Pumpkins are my favorite band and I love that song! I think I’d get a copyright strike if I used it though. Excellent suggestion! Thanks for watching.
Bought the senton 5 batteries tires bald 2 no pavement,2 batteries later motor smoked been waiting a month for replacement put a hobbywing 3660 4,000kv motor in it and proline trenchers 21 tooth pinion now it's an animal 57 mph on grass 62 on pavement my buddy with his slash has no chance anymore

The clutch only kicks in in heavy acceleration in a speed run it wont affect the top speed unless the slipper is crazy loose
The slash has been rebuilt multiple times. Reese has it pretty well dialed in. If you watch to the end of the video, we discover that the tires are pretty bald. It was close between the Redcat and the slash, but on this day, the Redcat was the fastest.
I totally agree.
cool trucks guys 4wd so much better than 2wd in my opinion.
I race a 2wd and 4wd at the local track, but for anything other than racing, yeah. 4wd all the way.
I've thought about saving up for an sc10e, would you recommend it?
Unfortunately you can’t get them anymore, unless you find one second hand, but yeah. They’re awesome!
@@10thScaleGarage do you have any suggestions for 10th scale short course trucks around the $250 price range? (I'm okay with upgrading the motor, esc, ect....)
@@stellerate slash 2wd is $199 most durable car I've ever had and the velineon brushless system is around $100 i think so not to bad for price. I think for brushless that's about the cheapest your gonna get but their great cars
Sweet bro. I want w sc truck but I dont know what I should get. Looking at a nitro or electric one from nitro rcx website
I got the TR-SC10E for less than $250 on amazon. That's over $100 off. It's one of the fastest RCs i have and the looks are growing on me.
Electric is WAY better nowadays
Nice video
idk, the team redcat is like $200 on sale and it is super good race handling. only thing is its discontinued : [
good comparison 🎯
Yeah! I got mine for $260. Sweeeeet deal. Zero regrets.
@@10thScaleGarage yes its worth it
If the 22s was in this video where would it rank?
Better than the ECX. Better to drive than the Senton. Slower than the Redcat and Traxxas.
@@10thScaleGarage oh wow that's pretty dang good it sounds like. I will be upgrading the power setup so I don't mind it being slower, but I am glad it sounds like it handles well! I'm going to be racing against a vxl bandit on a short asphalt course haha. Thanks for the response dude, your videos are always super cool subjects that I find interesting
@@foxhoundra6444 Actually it's far superior to the Slash. You can even get a badass aluminum chassis for the 22S.
One of my old buddy's showed up again and he has like 5 slashes so I'm thinking of getting a senton 3s i just love armma I have a slash 4x4 3s brushless and I always break driveshafts constantly. Im done with it. I would rather spend the 140 bucks it takes to get driveshafts that will last on a senton 3s.
Nice! Do it !
Hobao Hyper 10 SC-E ARR and put good elektronics in it. Best what you can do for the money.
I’ve heard good things about it.
Have the slash, like the senton.
That’s why you need both! Haha.
Yesss looking to get one and just found this video haha
You’ve come to the right place.
Cool race
Thanks
Who is the song by...?
Is the senton brushed? Because the senton is a bullet ussualy
Nope! It has a 3500kv brushless motor and a 120 amp speed controller. I think it has a 14 tooth pinion. That’s it’s problem. It has plenty of room for some taller gearing.
@@10thScaleGarage did you swap it to Brushless? because the Red Senton is Brushed from the factory.
Yup! It has a 3600kv motor and a 120 ESC. It’s capable of 4S.
the ECX torment is only a 2wd in this video !
Yes. I mention that many times.
Was the Senton the brushed or brushless version?
It was upgraded to brushless. The BLX might be a touch faster than mine, but not by anything noticeable.
@@10thScaleGarage I just bought the Senton mega but I have the brushless system just sitting here waiting to go in. I figured I'd go with the mega since it has the brushless internals. Thoughts?
I'm gonna have to grab me a redcat
Do it!
Me and my friend are both going to get the ecx
Good choice!
Nice trucks
An senton BLX?
Great video
I usually but the cheap ones, then upgrade them.
@@10thScaleGarage no matter what your doing still great! Arrma senton an good beginners truck? I am 15 years old so i prob want to upgrade ot very much, so are there many after market parts?
The ecx torment, is it 3s compatible?
Yes, but only after I upgraded the motor and ESC.
@@10thScaleGarage was the exc modified for this video? If so what were the mods?
Been looking at getting the traxxas but now kinda wondering about these other cheaper ones.
Nothing wrong with the Traxxas! They’re really durable and parts are easy to find. The slash is like the grand daddy short course truck, but it’s definitely not the only option.
@@10thScaleGarage granddaddy for sure given its history I heard. Lol I'm coming off a Losi XX buggy I bought in 94 and hasn't been used since maybe 99... Part me wants to revive it (almost pristine condition) but other part just wants to buy new.
MaziesButt my first ever hobby grade RC was a Losi XX. If you ever want to sell it, let me know, please!
@@10thScaleGarage tempting actually. It's all original short of ProLine rally rear tires and white 5-spoke front wheels and it's lacking a motor. Ran a Futaba Magnum radio with it.
@@10thScaleGarage how does one get hold of you direct? Have a FB page or something?
Traxxas ok video over thanks
You had me at hoonery and scumbagery!
Haha. Thanks dude.
Tekno sct410 all day.
I wish I had one.
The mighty DHK Hunter would spank all these trucks
I haven't driven that one. I wish we could've had one when we made this video.
where did y'all go
What do you mean? We’re still here.
@@10thScaleGarage lol where are you then
NW Ohio.
@@10thScaleGarageIt looks really nice
Put the 120A ESC, IT WILL WAKE THAT BLACKOUT SC THE EFF UP!
No blackout here.
Wait it's not called the blackout pro SC? I don't see any other SC trucks on redcat site
That senton is not a 3s brushless motor that’s the cheap nickel hydrated brushed motor so it’s not fare to run it against those 3 s csrs
Nope, it’s got a 3540 brushless motor and 80 amp ESC in it.
It came brushed, but that didn’t last long.
To be fail, the Torment came brushed, too but that’s had a brushless swap as well.
@@10thScaleGarage I only say that cause I have the 3s senton and it’s way faster then what I seen in the video and it also has a 4s sticker on it which also leads me to believe it’s not the 3s senton
@@10thScaleGarage not saying it’s not tho cause I could be wrong
Very 👍 cool 👍👍👍
The redcat costs half a traxxas 4x4... Is there a catch???
Parts support, aftermarket and the fact that you can’t buy the Redcat anymore.
Is the blackout SC worse? Looks the same. $159 for brushed $259 brushless
Senton blx 4 x 4
Nice!
WHERES THE LOSI KING
This was before I had the TT Pro and the Baja Rey.
the Senton is a turd. my BLX Senton destroys my VXL Slash
Yeah, this was still running the stock 14 tooth pinion. It has wayyyy more in it for sure. In fact, the motor and ESC I have in it is capable of 4S.
👍🏼👍🏼
Ik what u mean by the 2wd being quick i have a 2wd rustler with a stock battery and my dad has a 4 wd rustler w 2s and my brother has a stampede with a 2s but i have the fastest car
Heck yeah! Feels good to be the fastest, right?
@@10thScaleGarage yea lmfao ur the best youtuber ever never seen one that actually responds to every comment out tries this hard for fans love you man no homo and cant wait tell you make the vid on that wl toys one my lil nephew has been wanting the small green veraion for a ehile but we might try to get him the big purple one so ill be waiting on that review
I have a ecx amp mt and im buying a senton
Nice! I have the ECX Boost. Super fun.
the losi 5ive t is the est short course
That’s a 5th Scale gas Powered RC. While those are cool. This video was about 10th scale electric RCs.
10th Scale Garage I know, but the losi 5ive t is still a short course.😀
Bro why not losi?
I know! I’m trying to convince Ethan to buy one.
DHK Hunter is best.
You didn't review the best. Only most expensive 🤦
They get way more expend than a Traxxas slash. My Losi was more expensive than all of these. It’s also way better. I’d like to do this video again with a new selection of trucks.
Have you gotten your bead stuck in the wheels yet lol..just askn 😐
No
Arma senton 4x4 blx 3s under the tree
Nice!
Meow... The Red Kitten Metal Belly I believe is the Overall 🏆 WINNER 🏆 for quality price uniqueness Only metal frame and SEXINESS.
Too bad you cant get them anymore :(
the senton 3s is the best SCT speed ,durability, price and part support
Better than Traxxas? Common. It’s close but Traxxas is the yardstick.
Senton is the best. Slash is over priced
Maybe. Keep in mind, it’s the only one with stability control built in, and the parts support is pretty unbeatable. I agree though. The Senton is my fav.
10th Scale Garage very true. I suppose it depends on the person.
Hobao?
Yeah. We should get one.
If you got the BLX Senton it should shit all over that Traxxas by at least 10mph
It has a brushless system in it.
Please explain what benefit the Heavy Metal music adds to your videos?.... I'm thinking ZERO !
Zero?! The Smashing Pumpkins are my favorite band and I love that song! I think I’d get a copyright strike if I used it though.
Excellent suggestion! Thanks for watching.
Who is hobao? 🤌
Kyosho
I want one.
Bought the senton 5 batteries tires bald 2 no pavement,2 batteries later motor smoked been waiting a month for replacement put a hobbywing 3660 4,000kv motor in it and proline trenchers 21 tooth pinion now it's an animal 57 mph on grass 62 on pavement my buddy with his slash has no chance anymore
Right? The things are tough as nails, too.
I have utterly abused this thing we call it sentinels airways jumped my ram with a ramp on the tailgate easy 15 feet in the air no worries landed her n kept going
Losi is king.
Agreed.
I’m debating on a short course truck
Do it! They’re a good time.
10th Scale Garage thanks to your video I shot down to my local hobby shop and picked up a slash vxl 4x4🤦♂️😂...video coming soon
Nice! Congrats dude
My god invest in some hedge trimmers for that rat's nest on your chin, Definitely not a good look dude (sorry)
Stunning criticism from one so handsome.
Imagine saying something so rude to someone you don’t even know on UA-cam. Who hurt you?
Fuck you lonely bitch
@@cashlavoie4634 Truth is hurting you Huh
Tekno
Drum and bass.
@@10thScaleGarage 🤣
You sir, just earned yourself a new subscriber with that comment lol
My stock DHK Hunter would beat them all 🤷
Sweet!
I'm sorry but I can't stand this guys personality but his friend with the big beard is worse
My dad got my slash ran over and had it repaired the next day. That next day I was smoking people driving cars that challenged my rc car.
Nice! Gotta love that Traxxas parts support.
@@10thScaleGarage what batteries would you recommend?
we call them dead cat
Dude this video WAS NOT HELPFUL AT ALL
About as helpful as this comment.
I would never recommend anything redcat.
Noted.
The senton is the fastest out of the box I think the driver is dogging it.
I blame Ethan.
