This may be true, but there are way more Average Joes than top drivers...
I ran nothing but SCTs with gear diffs for the past three years, and they're very convenient. Now, I am back to 2WD with a Yokomo B-Max2. Although I'd love a gear diff inside, especially after trying a Losi 22 RTR last week, there probably won't be a gear diff option for the buggy ever. If I hadn't been a Yokomo fanboy, I'd probably bought another (metric) car. European X-Factory fans will probably get the X-7 with or without gear diffs, less biased drivers might look somewhere else.

In your position, I'd go for the metric outdrives and consider the work-in-progress AE big bore shocks (really love the big bores in my B-Max2). Guys always want the latest stuff.
