You'll have to wait, first Traxxas will make one (Stampede) then Losi will copy it (High Roller).

I'm not even a super guy myself. Never owned one, never will. Just not for me, but there has been so much crawler specific things coming out for 2.2 when theres been next to nothing for supers. I'd like to see more super stuff coming out as well.

I hope they give us the micro before another boring ass 2.2... We really need something to replace the SSMT's.

What's a SSMT? I really don't know.

Losi knows what they are doing. The Super class is getting closer and closer to being dead, except at the National level of competiton. The 2.2 class is highly popular due to size and being more in the relm of most people's budgets. The next big thing will be a competion 1.9 class. The size and cost will be very actractive to everyone that wants to join a competition. Losi knows this.

So in other words, they were garbage. Just generic toys that don't last much longer than 5 days.

Losi MRC already is a 1/10 in the same way that the TLT-1 has been the most common base for most 1/10 builds. Only difference is that these axles are much more accurate to 1/10 scale than TLT's

No. In other words, they were tiny, locked, solid axles that was perfectly sized to run under a 1/24 scale model body. People built a lot of kick ass scale rigs with them.

And what you said of the super class is the exact reason I'd like to see someone build one. The super class is percieved as this prohibitively expensive thing, while I see people sinking as much as 2 grand into a 2.2 class vehicle. Supers are really not any more expensive than the average 2.2 if you're wise with where and how you spend. I regularly see super class axles for as little $70-$80 bucks, right along side used axial and wheely king axles.
