Liked the SC10? Why not get it styled with the LeDuc family's winning trucks from the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series? Team Associated recently announced an upcoming SC10 model based on Curt, Kyle and Todd LeDuc’s victorious short course racers. Called the SC10 RTR Rockstar, it brings both cosmetic changes and some fine-tuning to last year's R.O.A.R. National Champion short course truck.
Just like a regular SC10, the new model comes ready to run, with a factory-finished shell (based on the 2009 Championship body) and short course race truck stylings (KMC-like wheels, aggressive tread multi-terrain tires and realistic bumpers). Judging from last year's version of the off-road vehicle, this should bring the same accurate 1:10 scale that makes it one excellent-looking ride.
Key details include a molded composite chassis, 14 precision rubber-sealed ball bearings, fully-adjustable suspension geometry, updated suspension settings, a 2.6:1 ratio gearbox with an externally adjustable slipper clutch and rugged steel turnbuckles. It comes with Team Associated’s new XP3-SS 2.4 GHz 3-channel radio system and XP SC200 Digital electronic speed controller.
Since changes are mostly just fine-tuning from last year's SC10, this Rockstar version should exhibit the same capable performance (probably even better). It's slated for availability beginning April, priced at $369.99.
