This may be a crazy thought, but has anybody ever throught of a spec 4wd class?? I know....spec......blahhhh...
However the cars and rules already exist, and the cost would be very low, low enogh infact to get new people into it before 2wd.... Tamiya has their df-01 cars based on the tt-01 spec chassis. They cost $110 and include the motor and speedo iand oil shocks in the box and they are shaft driven and just being Tamiya kits states how durable they are!!! Not to mention the bodies are pretty cool looking and they can also be had for $180 rtr... that's less than a b4 or xxx buggy (justb the kit!!!).... In general I would bet that if the spec class took off then you would have more people progressing into faster 4wd classes....
i know of one on-road track that gets 40-50 spec racers almost every week during winter and a good number of them are stock racers that just wanna join in on the fun....
Any thoughts??
