So I went to the track closest to me. A nice open-for-all track based on Astroturf.

Primarily they drive 1/10 buggy's there. The truck setup is still stock.
The truck simply drove fantastic.
So nimble and the tight corners, where my Slash driving friends suffer and swear, we're a breeze with the SCT410..
The small jumps we're effortless, but the big jump in the track requires some practice and getting used too with the new truck, so this meant a couple of rounds of crashing, tumbling, bumping heads on on the hilll, shooting over crashing in the net etc etc. It took a pretty good beating for some rounds getting that jump right.
The body took some damage, the Flotek SC body mounts over the front bumper, probably not the best choice in hindsight.
I'm questioning if there is a front bumper that can be mounted in front of the body. If someone has a alternative bumper on their SCT410 could you please send me dimensions of that bumper so I can check if it fits or makes a change ?
Regarding the car hardware: It was spotless after driving it hard and fast, I ran a full 8000mah 2S, no play in parts nowhere, no leaking shocks, it is so incredibly rock solid I was really surprised it held up this well after this beating on the track. Also the Hobbywing electronics held up really nice, just a warm motor, ESC and battery had no noticable temperature change.
Tekno FTW!

so bashing on backyard grass, rodeo grounds or gravel roads is it for now. My buddies and I do basher races off wooden jumps and lots of collisions happen.. cars are also flipped over a lot! So I built a role cage out of Polyethylene Water Line and also beefed up bumpers with same. Now I never have to flip it (self righting) and it's practically indestructible! Certainly not designed for traditional dirt track type racing but I'm sure you could fab up an extension to the factory bumper to help reduce "Training Rash" on your body. Id attache a pic of mine but phone is on the fritz with emailing photo's right now.
