So years of development to get the same horsepower and weigh 56 pounds more? Point proven. With the same amount of time in 2 stroke technology, where would they be now? More power and less weight. Remember, the switch to 4 stroke was not for power or reliabilty, it was lead by emmission regulations. I don't think R/C buggies fall under that catagory.
