i agree with the cash cow thing, associated definitely wanted a pice of the pie, traxxas definitely pioneered the corr truck thing, associated did the best job with the sc8, but I already have a 8th scale buggy, so I have no interest. I am a die hard losi fan through and through, but you said it best, I do not expect to see the 10th scale corr battle happening, Kyosho does have a gas 4wd corr truck to compete with the slayer, but I have not seen one or driven one. I guess time will tell in this case. I think if associated platformed a b44 to a corr truck, it would be way too fragile, but that would leave room for expensive upgrades, which everyone likes to do
