When carpet first started picking up here in the states I didn’t think it would overtake dirt. I thought it would just be another option and the two would co-exist with dirt still being a little bigger (because it is afterall OFF-ROAD racing). But I’m sad to say that I think true off-road is on its last legs, and dirt tracks are about to be totally extinct. I don’t want to be this way, but if that happens, and carpet completely takes over off-road racing, I’ll leave the hobby for good. I have nothing against carpet, but it has no business taking over off-road racing. Off-road racing is DIRT. Carpet off-road doesn’t exist. It’s on-road with jumps.

Good to see this upgrade from TLR. I think the lack of a QC diff is a little bit of a miss, but it's no deal breaker to me. I hardly ever fish my diff out. I'll consider this kit if I need another car before the next update.

So this new 22 has a "Dirt" edition, but what kind? My local tracks are still the dirt tracks from the paleolithic age.
I still see people running the old B5 rear motor setups, and getting podium finishes.
As these new cars are coming out, the layout looks more and more for high grip carpet.
Can these cars ever be as good as a rear motor car on loamy dirt?

Wow, just watched the 5.0 video with Professor Frank Root on TLR Facebook page.
I feel like I just completed the Gold Level training program for the 5.0 buggy line up.
Well done sir.
I'm so well informed now on this platform that you can ask me anything
No, but seriously go check it out if you want to know.

I remember about 8 years ago when people were saying things like "if mid motor is so good, why isn't anyone running it?" or "rear motor will always be king". Car designs are representative of the most common track designs. If everyone still raced on old school soft loam, we would not see everyone running laydown 3 gear mid motor setups. They would not work as well. I don't care who claims otherwise.
