I have to disagree as there has been no update to the 22-4 2.0 and no new model is planned for the foreseeable future according to frank.

My concern is part support. How long until the models are no longer supported?

Would there be much of a point in upgrading from a 3.0 that already has the laydown kit?

So any idea what it will take to convert a 3.0 or should I just sell it now???

Doesn't the Big 3 auto makers and all the others have a new model every year? So why shouldn't toy cars be any different.

I was only concerned about the stadium truck. It's always been my favorite class all the way back to the 5 link suspension JRXT.

Edit: Keep an eye out for the new 4WD buggy coming soon.

How many suspension arms do you break on your actual transport car lol.

But I am interested in would there be much improvement over a 3.0 with lay down.

I just bought a used 22T 3.0 with the laydown last week.

Does the 3.0 body fit the 4.0?

No the 4.0 body is different in the back to accommodate the new rear tower and shocks forward.

I never did buy the 3.0. Still driving the 2.0. I wonder how much better the 4.0 will drive, especially on carpet.

Due date

What exactly does early December mean. Just in time for the last TLR CUP at LHR?
