I think if wheelers were more durable the class would pick up again. I went to phx and ran at a local track (2wd), but there was a class of wheelers there, about 5 guys. At most, 1-2 guys actually finished each race. I think in the main, there was 1 guy not broke. That kind of racing is no fun. This car looks pretty solid, so maybe it will help bring the class back. I am sure pricing will be a big part of it. If it has kyosho pricing, then most people wont bother.
