It's fun to dream, and I hate to crush yours, but 4wd ST is just that..a dream.
I disagree. People like me love 4wd 1/10 buggy because of the sheer capability of the cars.. A 4wd St would have more airSide note: short course is great don't get me wrong, but its easily the nastiest class out there, especially 4wd mod SCT. I feel like ALOT of people who like the 4wd sct driving experience may jump ship if the action was cleaner.. Even if only by a little. The hyper tt was good enough for awhile to have an entire class for itself... Which is what I'm saying killed it: No other platforms that were legal; when people truggied their stampede 4x4 and got booted for using sct wheels and tires.

The LRP blast has come across my searches before but I looked for spares in the u.s. and well... None that i could find.

Losi ten mt doesnt fit in roar limits I don't believe and not sure stadium truck wheels would fit.

Just to be clear I'm not knocking any of the available/mentioned cars; I am however trying to keep this focused on possible conversions or completed conversions on 1/10 4wd buggies. Dave at MRC put one together probably a decade ago. It was in a magazine, forget what one though. Was right when brushless motors were becoming bigger and lipo batteries were entering our hobby.

My goal is to complete a conversion to 4wd st on the 22-4 and have a local sponsered driver break some track hotlap records.. Maybe get Frank Root on board with it and hope it takes off?
