This is why I have decided to build my own like others. Craps it is true you can get a 4wd truck for about the same price as a buggy. I was thinking about building and selling 4wd drive trucks. I could put one together that uses pretty much all production parts (except chassis) for about $300.It would be similar to a T44 because most of the parts would be from Associated.Though the problem is. Like others say there is no class for them yet and I am not sure most people would spend $300 on a roller to bash with. Though I would love to make these for people. I do realize you are talking about Mass production though. I think if a company where to take notice and see that alot of people want a 4wd truck then over time it would become a popular class. I don't see why 4wd aren't very popular. Though the class is becoming more popular and hopefully this will bring 4wd trucks into the market. I think they are the perfect vehicle and have tons of potential.I too race on a track ment for 1/8th and monsters. That takes out a 4wd or 2wd buggy. It is also a very loose track which is hard to control 2wd on. 1/8th scale conversions are becomeing more and more popular why not a 4wd truck?
Exactly. You sound like you race on the same type tracks we do here. It makes perfect sense to us.
