There has been a shift from Durango to Centro C4.1 that i've noticed and pretty sure that there will be another shift over next month to Cougar SV2's

The 22 was massively popular when it was released as nothing else new was available or announced as being released soon, it was the first 2WD bugy Losi had released in many years and it was very different in its design to existing cars.

It didn't suit a lot of driving styles and rather than adjusting driving style or spending time on set ups as it isn't a car that you need to throw money at, people jumped ship to the next new thing in the hope of instantly being world champion out of the box and set up to the manual!

Recently i've heard a fair few drivers say they are going back to a 22 after having dificulty's with the others.

I'll happily stick with my 22 for this year, got it set up now so it seems to be useable on all surfaces and conditions with a few little tweaks, its silly robust, haven't broke anything since August and its had some high speed tumbles, the wear rate on components is awesome too... just got to get the thumbs some more exercise as its an awesome car and capable of beating the rest of the pack!
