When the engines were 100 and a set of tires would last a weekend is when the class was the biggest because it was the cheapest way to race offroad and stand a chance to be competative . Once that changed the class died, MT racing was the final nail in the coffin.
yes they are pushing the 350-500 buck .12 engines that belong no where in a 2wd truck !! 1/8th scale killed the gas truck class slidecarb rear exhaust engines just made two much hp I ran rotary carb side exhaust and was pulling the wheels when I wanted to
