One of the main reason 4wd 1/10 is dead is because of the amount of maintenance they have required. Ball diffs and belt drive is the same old same old.
Electric 8th scale is off the hook here, not because they are the most suitable 4x4 vehicles for indoors, but because they are nearly maintenance free, and uber user friendly. Many, such as myself, would consider getting a 1/10 4x4 because they ARE more suitable indoors, but not if we are forced to endure the maintenance of ball diffs and belt drive. We ditched all that jazz once, and are not likely to return.

As for battery layouts, youre stuck with saddles given the monoque design it looks like.

The XX-4 was without a doubt the best 4wd car of it's generation. It's actually still competitive now. The issue with the car was always durability. With the improvement in technology, I would have to assume these issues have been handled.
Make no mistakes, this car should be, and probably will be, an amazing performer. I haven't owned a 4wd buggy since the original xx4 was out. I can tell you now that I will have this one.

1/8 is popular because they're retarded fast, as close to indestructible as possible, and will tolerate the operators poor maintenance habits. There is absolutely nothing wrong with belts and ball diffs in a lighter vehicle. As for your other comment, people would consider them if they learned how to drive within their skill levels, with motors appropriate for said skill, and who actually enjoyed working on their vehicles. People only "ditched that jazz" because they were lazy, not because the performance wasnt there

Was expecting a lot more from that. Looks good, but I can't say I'm impressed.

I think it looks great and cannot wait to build and run one!

I like the body with the exception of the fin running down the rear center. Since many bodies are adopting it, I'm sure it aids with the handling but they look so goofy. At least they didnt go with total cab forward design that I think should be outlawed (I know an El Camino when I see one!).
