I have been racing a B44 for 5 months, 2 1/2 months I was racing T4's
and other 2wd trucks. I really dont want another r/c I have 13.
Why run a B44 or other 4wd buggy when everyone around me is running nitro or a T4? doesnt make a whole lota sense to me, I guess they are wanting me to blow more money on something I dont even need.

I like staying in one class and getting good with that class, before going into another class.

I do plan on running my monster truck as soon as the HVMAXX gets here.
I was a whole lot better in monster truck than I was in 4wd modified.
In 2005, they jumped down my throat saying
"IF no electric monster trucks show up, then your not gonna be racing"
That was 2 or so years ago, then when I got the B44 I thought I could race it everywhere, and people would be interested in 4wd buggy, but
that has diminished in my local racing area. 2 people in my hometown
have a B44, the others are either nitro or T4 owners.

And the other B44 owner said the B44 is made for indoors, not outdoors on loose dirt. :/

I am gonna be tottally pissed off If I get an e-revo and I cannot race that either....

I think most are so jelous that I have these 2 4wd buggies, they think I dont deserve them.
I have been racing for 6 years, 3 years in monster truck, 3 years in 4wd buggy.
I have 2 trophies from when I raced an e-maxx, and got killed by revo drivers.
They are both 3rd place but still....

Parts for the XX-4 are not hard to get. There are plenty of places that carry a good supply of parts for this buggy in the States. Still the reason the guy said he had a XX-4 for a backup is because his main buggy is a XX-4! If you have to have another r/c get a truck. That way if you go to a race and the 4wd class does not make you have something you can more than likely race! Most places will not let you run 4wd electric in the truck class unless it is novice. You do not get many popularity points for winning the novice class I assure you. And once you win so many times they usually will not allow you to run novice class anyway.
