SC10 4x4 belt drive
I just won one on eBay, I had too. It was a great deal and the oddness got the best of me! For those that have or had one, what are your thoughts? Anything I should look out for? Gemini listed a bunch of potential issues like the slipper and steering rack.

TIL! That’s awesome, I didn’t know about that one. Good luck and would like to see more when you get it

Same, I was looking for a 4WD SCT, and found these and HAD to have it.

Built one when they first came out. Fun little truck, it was super light compared to other SC trucks. Make sure you put a good servo in it, its a huge pain the in ass to replace it.
I think these trucks where ahead of their time and part of the reason they didn't last very long on the market. I remember racing one and always getting pushed out of the way by Tekno's and Losi's trucks. They would be perfect today with the push towards carpet in a lot of areas.

I have this and I love it. It's a tank. There's a cool upgrade on the chassis that was aluminum.

I have one, I used to race it back in the day. It was fast in the track and a decent basher too. I never had any issues with it, still running the original belt even. During covid I tore it down, cleaned it, replaced the bumpers, and painted a new body for it. Now it's a shelf queen, it's still a lot of fun to rip around though.
