Any news when TA are going to bring themselves into the of road field with a 4wd buggy?
Losi need some sort of competition from their major rival in 2wd.

Preds were the only car that made that nice crunching sound when you knew you obliterated your gearbox though ;D

In response as to whether Associated Electric will make a 4wd buggy, then read this short interview the AE here (http://www.teamassociated.com/racerhub/b4_talk/4wd_buggy.htm)

funny that really, if 4wd isn't that popular that distributors don't want to buy a 4wd buggy, why do CML struggle to get hold of Yokomo Custom buggies?????

They need to get down to an off-road car club and see the resurgence of buggies as a whole, and the gaining popularity of 4wd as a whole. Last year, from being no 4wd buggies at our club (southport) to there being 6 by the end of the season........

try looking at the States, and that is there biggest market. Also, just because CML find it difficult to get hold of Yokomo buggies, it doesn't mean that they are very popular, just that they might only be allocated a small amount for the UK.

I don't think the States has a very big following in 4WD electric :'( thats probarly why the distributers aren't interested ???
