4wd SCBs appearing

[colmo]

I've just picked up on at least two forthcoming 4wd Short Course Buggies, from HPI and Axial (the latter is officially announced):

I'm guessing they'll get raced mainly in the States, but they're definitely of interest to bashers here.

fare play that looks sweet

The frame body looks fantastic. Great for bashers and scale enthusiasts.

For racing, I don't really see where it fits. Although SC has false-started somewhat as a racing class in the UK, surely part of the appeal of the class is the enclosed bodies which give you the door-handle-to-door-handle style of racing (*) that you can't get away with with a buggy.

(*) Racing, not T-boning.
