I would like to see more of these type trucks and see a class for them.
They say SCT is more realistic but the real trucks have solid rear axles and our rc's don't.
I think the the solid rear axle would provide cleaner racing because they would be more challenging to drive.
Either way they have a cool factor.

There are no tracks around where I live unfortunately 
. When I move outside of Guelph probably closer to Kitchener on the North side more, I will
have one for sure GUARANTEED! There is one about 45 mins away from me but I heard the guy running it is a real dick, so I never went there.
I've run it hard before doing huge jumps with it. It performed well like a normal SCT but extra travel and rear axle physics made it much more fun.
On a track it would probably be on par with a lightly modded SCT. It was 1/8 scale as well but a High C 2s lipo was good enough.
The truck I built currently is far more heavier and powerful than the one it replaced so it won't be competitive with its size class in a tight technical
course but it does well what was designed to do, crawl/clear huge obstacles and high speed over anything

It's just a matter of time before someone throws an SCT body, wheels, and tires on a Yeti chassis (I'm sure it'd take a few more tweaks). That was the first thing I thought of when I saw the first body-off shots. I wouldn't be surprised if Axial released an trophy truck in the future.

Should be able to fit a short course body on this when it hits the shelves.

yep , independant suspension are more efficient and lighter.
solid axles bring a lot of problem : weight distribution too much front or too high because or the long arms that take all the place on the chassis, also no adjustements possible
+ with light RC's you don't need that much rear suspension travel
but well, those trophy truck are indeed unique rigs that diserse their own class !
the point is not about which performs better, but which brings the best show !
