Well somethings definetley brewing in 4wd, with the re-release of the Yokomo dogfighter, Schumacher's new 4wd and Kyosho's lazer 5, things are comming full circle with 4wd. Just seems like things go through a cycle in r/c. 1/12 has also seen a resurgence with all the new cars out, Hopefully the same with 4wd thanks to MRC for jumping in and getting a buggy out at low cost. Manufacturese need to take notice. Now to convince associated to build a dedicated 4wd in the U.S......
