They would be in the same class at my local track, but 1/10 4WD Buggy is the most common, with the B44.1 and Bramba 10B.

Tamiya DF-02 is 10,000% better, more reliable, and cheaper. I owned a brama the thing was a almost complete Piece of crap. I had to use almost cause the motor(35t decent for a crawler), and ESC were ok outside that I ended up flinging the rest of it in a garbage can. Diffs bevel gears are weak, chassis weak (snaps in half on stock power, did it twice causing the rear diff to strip), Drive shaft is weak, axles cups will break off on brushed power. The only thing the brama ha going for it was its design, honestly that was really well done. HPI though used the most flimsy brittle plastic I've seen(even cheap $20 toy RCs from walmart's plastics are better) to make the vital parts of it that get put under the most stress, and they used high durability nylons for the parts that get the least stress...

The hyper 10tt is loads of fun I hear. I wish it was popular enough for other top brands to have a tenth scale truggy! Then maybe it would have its own class!

Just saying! I didn't mean to anger you!

HPI's the one that angered me making that thing look great in the promo footage (they must have broke like 10 shooting the 2 mins footage), and selling it for damn near $200 when it should have been closer to $20. Then promising hop-ups, and only selling an aluminum center drive shaft which was one of the few parts that wasn't a weak point [X(]
