i'm really glad you're enjoying this truck, it's so underrated in the hobby. Everyone talks about Sentons and Slashes but no ones seems to have time for this AE SCT which is bonkers as it drives so well and is super durable! happy shredding dude :)
Seems balanced very well, good air control. These type of trucks are notoriously bad about parachuting, this one doesn't seem to have that problem which is very NIIIIICE 👌🏻
Basher meets race truck! Great work by AE, tough and durable but handles great, tons of race pedigree and upgrades should be readily available! After the DK10, I was a bit worried about the direction AE was taking but this thing reaffirms my faith! I would take this over the Slash, all day, every day! And the Senton, hmmm...........🤔 I smell a shootout coming, lol!
Not having moving parts inside the chassis is so nice. I've torn through so many center shafts on my cars, all from a stupid little pebble getting stuck. The dust covers, however, have been game changes. Plus switching to aluminum center shafts. Still, it gets scratched up and if they were composite they'd be donezo. Anyway, that's a nice setup in there. Super clean!
It's a very good truck with some downsides: the stock radio and servo usually fail really fast and the motor mount bends easily which can cause chronic spur gear issues due to unstable mesh if you dont catch the problem. A low center of gravity chassis would be awesome, however for offroad it's less relevant. The powertrain (apart from the potential motor mount based spur issues) is bomb proof, no problem with 550 sized motors with much beefier ESCs. Just drive and replace bearings every now and then.
Spot on with everything! Stainless slash eBay axles also fix the weak plastic ones. I’ve tried all the plastic and heavy duty metal ones of ever combination and they all break but the cheap eBay ones are the strongest. The can handle 6s 100km racing on bumpy grass with mt10 tyres
I replaced the servo for something a bit stronger and much faster, and had a front arm break on mine, RPM MT10 arms go straight on. Also the stock tires aren't glued very well if you decide to take them on hard surfaces, I had to re-glue all 4 after my second time time taking it out. Overall I've love this truck though and am glad to see others being impressed with it.
I just bought the exact truck (red and black), haven't ran it yet , thank you for making this video, gives me a idea of how its gonna go , I bought the 3s combo
Love these TA RTRs for their quiet, smooth drivetrains. Polar opposite of Spektrum stuff (which runs fine, but cogs and tends to be noisy). Check your steering link if you cant get it straight. Mine was too short out of the box. Once adjusted it's fantastic.
YES INDEED BROTHER THAT IS TYPICAL TOP NOTCH DESIGN FROM THE ABSOLUTELY NUMBER ONE RC RACING CAR AND TRUCK COMPANY IN THE WORLD!!! THEY DON'T HAVE (""32"")("WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS") FOR NOTHING AND EVEN THOUGH THAT'S ONE OF THEIR LOWER LEVEL RTR IT'S STILL A AWESOME LITTLE PACKAGE FOR THE STARTER IN RC AND WITH A LITTLE BIT OF MODS TO IT THAT THING CAN BE A TRUE TRACK BEAST!!! GOD BLESS US ALL ✝️✡️✝️
This truck is literally a rebadged Helion Avenge. There is no associated design in it. 🤦 The associated MT10 that everyone is going mad about is also a rebadged Helion.
Ended up going with the Slash 4x4 BL-2S but this seems great. We need more competition in this segment. Everyone runs tekno SCT at my track and I’m making it my mission to beat them with the slash
Hopefully they don't discontinue it right away, like most of their platforms. I was very disappointed with the pro rally and the nomad db8. Just a few examples of great, short lived platforms from team associated. I still have an rc18r from almost 20 years ago. I'm afraid to drive it tho, parts are nowhere to be found for it. It was even rereleased under a different name by AE, and very quickly discontinued. I still want one of these tho. AE still makes great rc's
i think that a thin plate of carbon over that steering gap would be a very good idea . put your controller /receiver and a raw500 to fix the steering . copperhead 10 or max 10 combo on 3s will fix up the speed . fling king - Short Course Tire or swap on magma buggy tires are a must do !!!!!!
Of course, it's made by Team Associated. Not some no name China brand. Hell, I can still get parts for some of my Team Associated vehicles from 15 years ago lol.
This things built like a tank! it's based off the MT10 monster truck which is pretty much the best bang for your buck basher you will find (you seriously need to get one on your channel) Loads of upgrade parts avaliable too, the esc and motor will take 3s but you WILL need a motor fan as it gets toasty. Also before you head out with it again I recommend threadlocking the motor mount screws these backed off on mine and let the motor wobble about.
@@ExocagedRCright now is the time. The brushed MT 10 is on sale for $179 plus HW has 15% off for presidents day. Slap a 10BL combo in it and have a 4s capable beast of a smaller basher for $250 ish. I just ordered that them both Friday. I've spent many times that on much lesser trucks. Also ordered a set of RPM arms since they are about the only things you can break on the MT10.
It's like Traxxas made a slash 4x4 and then Team Associated made a Traxxas slash 4x4 with a different name and then it's some reverse-engineering on it
@@ExocagedRC Because they did it with the Rival which is the same as the Helion Avenge 10MT. And that came with almost identical knockoff/bootleg Pro-Line Trenchers just without the logo. So AE does just slap there name on stuff sometimes. I'm just wondering how American this is.
Losi jr owned helion as Hobby towns house brand. Horizon Hobby wrights the checks now. I have the pro4 with the arrma senton motor and ESC on Badland tires for bashing, really like the truck.
@@bryanhill1419 I guess the question is where did Helion originally get the Avenge from? It was extremely close to a Stampede 4x4, but not too close as to avoid copyright infringement. It's interesting.
Almost frustrating you are such a great leader in R/C and your operating with one hand and making many mistakes you wouldn’t if you were operating with both working hands

It’s odd I have to stay on throttle with this one which is opposite the Senton
These types of trucks are what really make this hobby great.
Wow that second flight was beautifully executed! Actually on every jump!
When you had it on the bench and flexed the suspension the smoothness was obvious.
Associated really lookin for the win with this truck.
Hopefully AE does a 'team' version. (Kit)
Definitely survived the big ramp mishap! Traxxas (stock) would have imploded!

Man i can see some rocks getting into that steering setup, did my head in on the senton before getting it call covered up.
Looks pretty good for an entry level!

Can you give me some good upgrade tips for this car? Mine just arrived and i only ordered some good tyres for it

You and me both!
3s and a arrma heat sink and fan on the motor is a must for hard racing in the heat
i had an pro sc10 with a nice setup on it different springs rate and shocks and some tires and what not and dam did it ever do go on race day
Looks like a hobbico sct 10! Same platform and lights as well!
Great review

Not necessary. Never had any issues with the servo horn or servo arms getting snagged by anything. I've got both the MT10 and Pro4.
Yessss sand paddlessss!
Yeah, you should really try it with 3S. 😊
3S for Sunday
I still have the very first team associated SC10 two-wheel.
Does this truck nose dive on the bigger jump? Do you have to mess much with the throttle to get it to level out?
On this one I usually have to hold full throttle. It’s very different from the others
@@ExocagedRC Oh wow, that is unusual.
Thanks, just bought one yesterday
Did you turn up the rate for the throttle?
Why didnt you try a 3s Joe? It can take it. My Rival MT10 is an absolute animal on 3s.
That handles so good dude, flies beautifully!
I will, but I want to keep it 2S for temps and I have 2-3 more videos up for members on some minor mods to it before I do 3S.
@@ExocagedRC ahhh, there madness in the method eh 😅
Forgive me if I missed it, does this have an actual center diff or slipper clutch?
Center diff
How do u bind the xp120 to the original receiver
the fact it has a center diff means it'll proably piss all over any senton or slash given a little tuning on any surface
Like the xmaxx, if you land on the chassis and bend the center driveshaft. That's gonna make som noise.
I’m sure.
It's a plastic center drive shaft. No bendage
Joe you have to try the mt10 also
Dude you should get a slash ultimate and do a sct comparison vid
Slash VXL - the Ultimate is a highly upgraded version and the Pro4 SC10 is stock.
I mean not really it just has a couple aluminum parts on it. Similar power systems, chassis and specs
But yah vxl has more basic parts
Are there still parts available for this?
Of course, it's made by Team Associated. Not some no name China brand. Hell, I can still get parts for some of my Team Associated vehicles from 15 years ago lol.
@@SnarkyRCthat is a somewhat ironic statement
Research the Helion Avenge, compared it to this and then tell me it's not Chinese. 😂

I’ve driven it a few times since I recorded this and yeah temps are a concern so it’s only at /s for now. Idk about the MT10. Maybe one day

I have a pro2, hard little bugger to handle on 3s
Runs about 65kph out of the box. Great little cars.
Wishing for a 4x4
It looks a lot like a Traxxas 3s line car which is good because Traxxas 3s trucks take a beating and are quick
Potential to be a slash killer
I hope so!
Is a Slash killer.
It's like Traxxas made a slash 4x4 and then Team Associated made a Traxxas slash 4x4 with a different name and then it's some reverse-engineering on it
Throw a 3s in lil fella
Chassis looks similar to a Slash. Is this a rebranded China rc?
This is not rebranded that I can tell. Why would Team Associated rebrand anyone else’s chassis?

@@truerc right! Who engineered it, the rival mt10 and pro4 are both good plate forms.
Was I the only one that felt...underwhelmed? This car didn't seem to go fast to me. Hell, it doesn't even look 1/10 scale to me, either.
Nissan has a trim called Pro-4x. These guys aren't far from a Cease and Desist letter from nissan :P
Nope.
I would like to see the new Traxxas Raptor R on your track
Maybe someone around me has one. I just really have no need for it at this time.
