There should be plenty. I know of at least 3 or 4 for sure, including myself.

There is a few out there we should have a class ..... But i can Tell you right 4mod is not a super poplar class so it doesn't always have turnout .....2mod mod truck and ebuggy seem to be the big classes here ...

I have noticed the only 2 places that seem to have a strong 4mod class is NCT and Mike's rc world .... we have b mains all winter long at mikes ...

I think the biggest turn off for 4wd buggy is the cost and the lack of durability of the cars. If you were to see my caster s10b v3 you would see that this buggy is built for today's demands . I wanna bring it up to race so I can show it off as this car is awesome so I will be up there in hopes of a turnout to race. But if anybody wants to see what a 4wd buggy that's affordable and the most durable yet not a toy come see me. The best pro kit for the money . Casterracingparts.com is the site check it out. They are also sold at dons hobbyshop in Snohomish WA phone # 425-923-9831

Amazing traction yesterday. Track was actually better without being watered. Almost like indoors? Glad the jumps and bumps were fixed to make a great race day.

race day went smooth for an opener, great job Ben.

First, Thank you to every one who came to race, Your efforts on cornering and sweeping the track etc made the day go as smoothly as it could on that end. I know it wasn't perfect because of loop issues and software bugs. The loop issue should be resolved by next race. I am consulting with the Scoring software Designer right now. The results from the races look good on the computer but are not printing correctly and as such I know people won't read this entire posting and I will be flooded with e-mails and comments about it not being right... So with that said, Results and points will not be posted untill the program issues are resolved. I'm looking forward to seeing you all at our next race this Sunday, May 19th.

Thanks
Ben
