SCT's look like their full-scale counterparts, they're fun and they are less hooked up than their stadium truck counterparts, bringing driving back into the equation. Losi has taken what they have learned in the world of short course trucks, sprinkled in some 1/10-scale buggy tech, mixed in some full-scale buggy styling for their latest vehicle. It's not hyperbole to state that this new vehicle could completely reshape the landscape of 1/10-scale buggies just as short course trucks have changed the shape of 1/10-scale trucks. I'm of course talking about the Losi 1/10-scale XXX-SCB
The SCB, or Short Course Buggy, carries over quite a bit of SCT tech, however just calling it a short course truck with a different body ignores many of the details that have gone into this car. The XXX-SCB features an all-new, super-narrow chassis that, when combined with its body, eliminates the parachuting effect that can plague short course trucks. The XXX-SCB also features a narrow front shock tower, designed to fit under the body. Speaking of the body the XXX-SCB will be available in three different trim schemes, ReadyLift, Rockstar and Stronghold. Check out our video below to see what makes this one of the coolest vehicles we've had our hands on in a long time.

what kinda charger do i need to get for the scb

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@cody11297 I have been using the Passport Ultra from Dynamite (DYN4064) and the Passport 1-6S AC/DC (DYN4066) almost exclusively and both work very well.

Lol --- "parachute effect"? What a load of bull dung. These buggies aren't jumping off the side of a building... they are going 40 mph max in a jump. There is no noticeable aerodynamic lift or "parachute effect".

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@TheArfdog On the SCTs the parachute effect is quite real. The truck's bodies trap a huge amount of air and can cause the to hang, float or blow-over. This is why many SCT body manufacturers now have areas marked for you to open up, allowing trapped air to escape.

Doe's it come with a charger?

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@TheGokartboys It does not

@webOSroundup Now would it be possible (if I got that pack) to convert some of that speed into power? Say with a new Spur or Pinion gear? I don't know much about different toothed gears yet and was curious. I wanna keep it at 30-35 Mph.

[webOSroundup]

@bmx65 Oh yeah. For a pack the Orion 45C packs work quite well and the new Dynamite Platinum 50C packs are really good too and you should be able to hit 35-40 with that Fuze system without trying hard.
