Any plans for JC to come out with some 1/10 4wd fronts/rear tires? Just wondering. Would love to see other treads out there other than whats out there. Proline seems to want to only concentrate on 1/8. Losi can't supply the demand. Panther needs to drop their pricing. It's too bad. With 4wd becoming bigger with the release of more cars. You would think some of these companies would wake up.
4wd mod is one of the bigger classes at my track.

Proline - Lack of variety, M3=one run$
Losi - More variety, always on backorder
Panther - Less variety, way too expen$ive

[Dasupacat1] -We've definately noted the demand, and lack of options for 4wd fronts. I think I'll add another good word for adding that to the list.

while i agree there needs to be more options for 4wd fronts. the panthers are 1.95 more then prolines, however they will last you 6 to 10 runs depending on track and driving style. i mean optimum performance too. where as like you said proline will get you 3 to 5 runs. so is the 2 dollar difference worth the extra runs to you or not?

Andy yes put me down for another vote for Jconcepts to make 4wd fronts.

well the amount of tracks and quality of them in the country is amazing. Most of the best drivers in the world are from there with the level of competiton available.Tracks race during the week as well as weekends.In Australia the distance between sydney and perth for instance is 4-5hr by plane.Our tracks are spreadout across the country.You have heaps of indoor tracks and last but not least most of the r/c equipment is made in the US.Oh and also the dollar is way better.

That maybe true, but my track is extremelu rutted, hard packed, dry. and dust in areas. Don't think that Panther makes a tire for that would work here. Everybody uses Bigshots in 2wd (work great)and mostly Holeshots in 4wd because there really isn't anything else that works. Wish Losi made a 4wd version of the Bigshot because that would be the ticket here in 4wd.

I'd like to see titanium screw kits for the BJ4WE. For at least what I would need to replace the existing screw with titanium or ss.

Im pretty sure rc screwz offers a SS screw kit for both cars, if Im not mistaken. Lunsford racing might be the only option for a ti screw kit(pieced together) though, and that will be pricey.
