Default Can't Find Any 4WD Stadium Truck
I am looking for a 4WD Stadium truck for bashing but it seems nobody makes one. All I see is the 2WD variants like E-Firestorm and Rustler. Is it because there is a lack of interest out there?

I see a lot of 4WD monster trucks but I just prefer the look and handling of a stadium truck.

Edit: I was thinking of SC trucks.

Really just looking for a 1/10 EP stadium truck.

Seems like latest trend is those short course trucks which I find ugly-looking. It is sad that all manufacturers follow each other in making new products.

we see threads about these 4wd stadium trucks all the time. there just isnt anyone making one. 2wd truck seems to be a huge class, that isnt shrinking.

The Sparrowhawk XT is the only electric 4WD ST (or truggy) I know of. I wanted a 1/10 electric 4WD truggy also and took a kyosho DBX/DST and converted it to electric. Not really that hard and works amazing! I love my DBX in brushless form.

I was wondering if anyone would ever do that. Any pix of your Kyosho?
