This summer JQ annonced that a 4wd was on its way. Nice indeed.

I'm very interested in seeing what JQ come up with for an electric 1/10th buggy. I read a column he wrote some time ago about what he felt was wrong with electric buggies, and his main criticism was that they didnt have a centre differential like their 1/8th counterparts.

Considering that run time and power isnt an issue anymore, I'd be very keen on a 1/10th buggy that had a third diff like many of them had way back in the beginning. The new X-ray buggy promised so much but in the end it's been rather predictable. JQ could stir things up properly

Little birds told me that the prototype was very interesting

I'm assuming these are blue groove conditions? I haven't seen a 4WD go this quick around my club's track

Anyway, I like it that brands are taking interest in the buggy scene, and it would be good to see what JQ can do with 1/10... And with slightly upscaled cars using centre diffs (DESC410, 1/8) it would be interesting to see if JQ is right that it is (one of the things) that leaves to be desired on 1/10s.

It's an interesting read.
