Team Associated SC10B (Fallen's Class 1 Buggy)

[Fallen]

I managed to chase down a Team Associated SC10B locally. I've wanted one of these for a while, and unfortunately they're long discontinued. So I'll have to be fairly gentle with it.

The buggy I bought ended up missing some critical parts. So I found an SC10 roller on eBay and robbed the nice parts to make this:

I have a 3300KV brushless motor going in to run on 2S. I "locked" the rear diff with Silly Putty which should make this thing a blast in sand / dirt.

I put Badlands on the rear, Trenchers on the front. I tried to run Pro-Line Powerstrokes, but the ones I bought were too long. The driveshafts couldn't support the down travel.

And for more scale goodness, I stole the 5.0 out of my Early Bronco and mounted it somewhere it will actually be seen.

I almost forgot about these cool older buggies!

Nice updates - especially the motor... "thumbsup"

Wow, that looks good. Reminds me of the desert buggy from Smuggler’s Run.

Awesome! Love those buggies, it's a shame they came and went so fast.

Thanks!

I have a large, outdoor sand / dirt track about 1/4 mile from my house. It's super bumpy, rutted and deserty and I think this buggy will be a blast there.

Nice score! I'm still kicking myself for never picking one of these up when they were clearing them out years back.

Amazing, I have one as well. Truth is I actually have a couple of them. I bought them back when they came out. They looked so cool i had to have a pair. Wish we had a short course track around here.

You already have it looking better. Look forward to seeing what else you do with it. I should likely blow the dust off of mine

Thanks.

If you don't have a short course track, they're pretty fun as proper off-roaders too.

I did fit the Pro-Line Powerstrokes on mine. Slash rears on the front and Powerstroke XTs on the rear. I had to limit the XTs by between 10-15mm to prevent the driveshafts from coming out of the drive cups.

With the extra down travel and these offroad tires, it's a blast, especially with the rear diff locked. I ran mine at a sandy, rough "track" today and it's awesome.

With the 3300kv motor and a 20t pinion, the 2S 4000MAH batteries last about 20 minutes each.

My 4 year old son was launching it about 4 feet high and having a great time.

These buggies are super cool. Wish I'd got one when they were on the market
