Can you race with a RTR RC Truck? Team Associated Pro2 SC10 First Race
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- Last season - I raced in 4WD SCT with my Losi DB Pro buggy. It is a 4WD SCT chassis...with a really heavy body and light bar on it. :)
This season, I am moving to 2WD SCT...and doing it as cheaply as possible!
While others are racing full-blown race vehicles from Tekno, Team Associated, and Losi....I decided to get the Team Associated Pro2 SC10. A plastic chassis, basic brushless SCT that comes in just over $300.
Can this truck actually compete with vehicles with much higher price tags? I am here to test it out!

Nice run, especially if you drove with the stock radio! Clean laps, that was an excellent race. Footage from the car was great!
Ageeed - that on board camera stuff was awesome. Like F1 (almost!) 👏🏻
Thanks!
Yep - stock radio also.
Looking into some basic changes to make it a little better...but honestly it seemed rather easy to drive!
@@RoadsideRC The stock electronic have DVC/adjustable gyro. That is not alowed in most races...
@@akimrc Yes - and you can disable it, which is what I did before the race.
Awesome job! You did some mighty fine racing! So cool seeing box stock trucks race like this. Gives ya a good idea that you can compete very cheap! So cool.
That is EXACTLY what I was going after. Thanks!
Whish they'd do a spec class using these sc10 instead of the slash.. the sc10 is sooo much better for it. Slash is nothing but a wide chassis stampede with a fancy body.
Amazing what a good set of tires will do on a bone-stock truck. Nice driving!
Yes! Tires are soo important!
2nd place look so much happier than 1st I look forward to more adventures with this truck 👍
Thanks!
I think this is a great idea. The tires seem to work well. The original SC10 was a very good truck. Still have my original one. I have found that with RTR's is not unusual to be missing a small screw or that a screw is not fully tightened. Thanks for sharing.
thanks for the response! If you have your old truck - sounds like it is time to get racing! :)
Awesome video!!
I love that you put info on screen to help us keep track of what's happening!
Congrats on 2nd place!
Thank you!
I had a hard time keeping track myself.
@@RoadsideRC Hahaha!
I race a heavily modified Associated rb10 in 17.5t sportsman and a heavily modified Traxxas rustler in stadium truck at my local carpet track and have a great time. And do pretty well against the competition. RC is all about having fun.
I agree! As long as we are having fun - that is the important part!
Bearings and a faster esc and some carbion wheels for less stress on rotation 👌 can not wait to see the next video 😀
Do you have examples of the wheels you are talking about?
I keep thinking about grabbing this truck. Great video.
It surprised me how good it was.
Brilliant video👍 love the driver's camera view
I thought that camera view came out good also. Thanks!
I got the same truck as well as the pro4 model. Both are excellent trucks for the money
They really do seem like solid trucks!
One of my favorite trucks. Rear motor, easy to work on, shit ton of upgrades, easy to drive, and race-able in most cases. I have an outdoor setup with a ball diff, c and d blocks, bell cranks, 1258tg, and version 2 shocks all around and threw a 13.5 in it. Dialed
Nice! Which change made the biggest difference for you?
My first Associated truck was the prosc10. Can’t complain. Very well made and easy to handle.
They sure seem to be!
Racing an RTR myself, having fun with it!
Great!
Which one are you driving?
@@RoadsideRC Losi 22s SCT.
Awesome man, I have this truck, installed a hinge pin retainer from the DR 10 with no holes and modified the body to avoid parachuting, so far I'm happy with it.
Thanks! I need to do some of the same things!
Nice Race! 😀
I'm thinking this will be my next buy!
It is a great deal!
A great result, 2nd place. 😎👍🏻
Can't wait to see how you can make this truck better. 👍🏻
I'm looking forward to it also!!!
Dang impressive! Almost 1st place with stock parts and the wrong tires, good job. This will be my next RC. Cheers!
It is rather good!
Thanks!
Brilliant ! One of my favourite rc vids. Very inspiring. MR
Thanks!
My first race truck was a Slash 2wd. I've since turned it into a brushless mod buggy. The Slash and SC10 are similar. In my experience, I found tires and shock settings to really helpful. Very fun to watch thanks!
Thanks for the feedback!
I am actually curious to put this head-to-head with a 2WD Slash. My experience says this is a much better truck...but it has been YEARS since I had a 2WD Slash in my hands.
@@RoadsideRC it will be interesting to watch for sure! 👍
@@RoadsideRC Stock RTR 2wd Slash still comes with the high CG chassis, and there is no comparing that to the Pro2. Pro2 is light years better. But even the LCG chassis conversion for the Slash, the Pro2 is going to be better. Lighter, and better suspension geometry, and generally better design. I say that as someone who spent a long time trying to make a 2wd Slash run with the rest of the 13.5 SCTs.
Wow, that’s amazing, out of the box rtr, what an awesome truck .. great video Troy
Thanks 👍 I am happy with it!
Great 2nd place finish, we have the TA pro2 as well and love it. And the pro4 is under the tree 🌲 🤫. These trucks are so good out of the box. Loved the on board footage as well 👍🏼
Sounds like you need to start racing!
The SC10 is king & has been sense the start of SC RC racing. I raced the original SC10 for 6 years & stayed competitive the whole time. Finneshed 3rd in points the final year I raced it. They are easily tuned to any track & the aftermarket is bountiful to keep them relevant to newer cars.
I sure hope mine does just as well!
@@RoadsideRC you did great. I've seen reviews on that track with comparison to the Losi & everybody seems to really like the SC10. I think RPM makes the best upgrade parts for when the stock parts brake. Other than that it's all about tuning(tires,shock oil/springs, gears, & maybe a quicker servo) & that just takes time getting to know your driving style. Most important thing is keep it fun. Good luck have fun and keep up the great content.
Pretty impressive! Nice driving Troy!👍😊
Thanks 👍
I had a blast!
Thanks so much for this video. After watching I bought this exact truck. I actually love the paint scheme. I’m a pro basher, but plane to make improvements you suggest. Ha! Pro-Basher 😂😂😂
Glad I could help!!
I hope you enjoy the truck! It had done really well for me.
Loved the car cam footage. Good race!
Thank you!
These are solid rigs I have a couple. My kids usually race them.
The out of the box setup works well for outdoor tracks once you get the correct tires.
Tires make a HUGE difference!
Hi. What should be the right tires
You definitely had that W without that last crash
I REALLY THOUGHT I had it. Wind went out of my sails with that crash.
Good race I like the view from the car congrats can't wait to see the upgrades and better driving skills you'll be first in no time
Thank you!
More coming soon!
Makes me want to get my Losi XXX SCT out and run some laps.....great job....😎👍
You should do it!!!
Great Run...I like the entry level Rigs. Made me think about my 2 HPI Blitz I have. 1 black, 1 white chassis trucks.i gotta get them going
Awesome! Hope you enjoy them once they are running again!
wish they still made those white chassis blitz.
Sc10 PRO - "very very Basic truck"
well done TA for clear naming of your trucks...
😭
Ha! I see what you are saying.
I believe the "Pro2" and "Pro4" naming are based on the 1:1 vehicle classes that would be the same as these vehicles.
Truck cam FTW!
Thanks! I love that footage!
I just bought a PRO2 SC10 to go racing at a local indoor carpet track. I changed the shock oil in the front to 37.5 and my next up grade will be 6.2 gullwing A-arms.
Nice!
Good luck!
Onboard footage was nice.
Thanks! I really enjoy watching them!
If you can't win a race with that truck....... the vehicle was never the problem!
It is a solid truck!
Awesome! I still have my original SC10!
You should race it!
@@RoadsideRC Sadly parts for the original ones are getting hard to come by so not sure Id wanna risk it..
Great footage! Clearly very capable. I love my Slash but would love to own one of tgese! Thx Troy
Having owned both, this truck is LIGHT YEARS better than a Slash.
@@RoadsideRC No kidding, I ll be seeking one. Thx
It's not the car, it's the driver
Thanks!
I just picked up this truck and I’m loving every second of it. I’m also building a 1/8 scale associated four-wheel-drive, buggy race, but this one is just scratching that itch. I’m curious of what tires you ran on the car?
Hi there! Glad you are liking it.
Honestly, I have run a lot of different tires - usually the ones the fast guys are running at the track. This was a set of Pro-line tires.
Congratulations 🍾
Thank you!!
Awesome run Troy👊
Thanks 👍
I believe I've read that the ball diff from a b5 will drop in no mods. @razor rc? I think I read him say that on the forum. Great job though, I'd love to see the associated truck start getting some love
Thanks! I'll make sure to check that out.
It is basically the same as a DR10, so many parts are interchangeable.
I especially liked the FPV view! What are you using for an onboard camera?
Hello! I am using this one: amzn.to/3IgUKVa
Cool video 🔥 👍🏽 💯 💪🏽
Thanks 💯
Nice job on the video great run
Thanks 👍
👌👌👌 nice driving man
Thanks ✌
In my hands that would win first deffo
Great job‼️👍👍🦾🦾
thanks!
I have the SC10 Pro4 thats my go to beater for burning practice laps. Surprised the pro2 doesn't have the threaded adjustable shocks like the pro4 for the same price.
Yes! I think a shock upgrade would be really nice for this truck.
awesomr beast!🔥🔥🔥
We used to run those back in the day???? Why couldn't you now?
In today's race world, the level of the base chassis being raced are much higher. Team Associated themselves even have a kit a level up from this one. Means this might not be worth getting to race anymore...
Excellent 👌🏻
Thank you!
How did you get the front end to bite? Is it different wheel width in the front? I had to go back to the rtr tires in the front to get any grip
What I found: this truck has A LOT of steering angle. It is very easy to over steer the front end going into the corner. I found less steering = better handling = faster corners.
Just curious what tire and wheel combo that is? I have a trophy Rat and I wanna go racing with it 👌👌
Hello! these tires:
amzn.to/3Z0gcTO
@@RoadsideRC thanks! 👍
Wow very impressive, especially for bone stock RTR. That's amazing.
That is what I thought!!!
Could you try the 4x4 one?
At some point. Don't have the $$$ to try it at this moment.
It does look like a really good truck.
What are you using to film your footage if I may ask
Usually a group of cameras. My current is the DJI Action 4, my Samsung cell phone, and an Insta360 Go3
@@RoadsideRC thanks!
Have you ever onsisesd doing fpv lol looks like It will be fun lol
Yes! I have: ua-cam.com/video/Ao5YxYNu0wU/v-deo.html
Where is this track that you are running on? Is it in Nashville?
RC Farm, Crossville, TN
you did very well mate
*full view💯Au👍hit a like for you*
Thank you!
What class let you run stock rtr reedy electronics?
2WD SCT. No motor / ESC regulations.
The pro sc10 is just a b4 t4 race chassis. The sc10 was a race truck before it was a rtr lol. U are just driving a old race truck with rtr shocks and electrics unlike a slash that was never a race truck. And that's how spec slash came about. There not good enough to compete at a pro level except against there selfs lol
Pro-level - of course not!
But - at a local level, it is a super-cheap way for someone to get started. I've raved it twice, come in 2nd both times!
@RoadsideRC second is first loser. If your not first your last 🤣. I run a slash in a dirt oval sc street stock class it does ok at a club level but you go to a big race amd good luck. The tunability is not there compared to the others unless you have all aftermarket stuff and at that point you might as will get a race kit.
Losi TT pro is way better
They are VERY different vehicles. The TT Pro is 4WD. This truck is 2WD to race in that specific class...
It sucks that sct racing isn’t as popular as it was yrs ago,it’s my favorite racing. Horizon hobbies/TLR is discontinuing the TLR sct22 3.0 & probably scte 4wd 3.0. The sct22 for sure. Those are some awesome platforms for how old they are. They are actually super cheap right now”kit versions” because of that,all most half price,you should check them out! I’ve had mine for 2 yrs sct22 3.0 & scte 4wd 3.0 they are amazing!! Thinking about picking up a couple more kits of each lol. Just cause they are that good & cheap!! Great vid & ya this sc10 is super capable!!😉👍🏼
Thanks!
Are you racing yours?
I'm not sure where you live but hear in Eastern North Carolina 2wd and 4wd SCT racing happens just about every weekend. In the summer it's outdoor tracks and winter it's still some outdoor tracks but mostly indoor tracks.
Where I live there are 6 nice Hobby Shops with AWESOME tracks with in a 100 mile radius and one of the nicest and most popular is just 20 minutes away. Sure hope you can find a place to race them because it is so much fun. ✌🏼
