Thanks for the info, guys.

The S4 certainly sounds like an interesting car to drive. The prospect of an offroad car that uses the front end to pull itself through the turn and keep the back end in line is . I've seen quite a few real on road cars that could do that, but never an offroad r/c car that could.

On low grip tracks, especially the fluff I have in my backyard, I'm used to basically drifting the car through the turns, and looping it once in a while, but I guess that style isn't going to work with a car like the S4 is it.

Well i guess I'll just have to try one someday!


Since it's weight forward, is there any difference in its jumping versus the BJ4? Does it scrape the front end on steep ramps, or nose down in the air without a lot of throttle?

I've seen the videos of Frederic Pain's car on Petit (at least I think it was Petit) and it looks phenomenal in the air, but the vids are kind of low quality so I could be misjudging.


Thanks again guys
Chris
