Ae should have theres out early this year. Suppose to be a sc10 version of the B44. Will be a belt drive. Suppose to be an awesome truck according to those that have driven it during testing already.

Same thing I'm waiting on. Been so close to buying something else several times but I've held off.

I ran 13.5 touring cars last winter and the belt drive works very well in those cars. I hear belts hold up well even in the mod cars too....so I say go for the belt drive AE!

I've raced both 2wd and 4wd short course and I prefer 2wd by a large margin. I'm hoping my new XXX-SCT is going to be the hot ticket. Now if Losi comes up with an updated SCT based on the 22 sometime next year I'm sure I'll be upgrading again.

I think it wil be based more along the lines of the Ten-T. the protos look very similar to it.

I really doubt the belt part, I just don't see them going that way. I got sick of waiting and bought a Hyper, which will be for sale if AE ever makes one.

Main reason I haven't gotten a B44. I can't afford an entire new set of batteries, and one isn't gonna cut it.

I hope I can wait for those new 4x4 SCT! Im eyeing the Slash platinum right now. For some reason, I dont want saddle packs and I like the simple lay out of the slash 4x4.

Ive talked to people who have driven it and confirmed that its going to be a belt drive. They are shooting for something late february but doubt we will see it till april or may.
