yeah. its like a stadium truck, the ones ive driven are 2wd. small light (CHEAP) plastic tub chassis with a HUGE expensive shell over it. large wheels (like buggy thickness but taller) and generally way overpowered motors installed :P

designed as a cheap fun build. people are starting to race them becuase of how tough and simple they are. dont handle well, and bounce all over the place out of the box (and spending money upgrading stuff isnt the point AFAIK). kinda like the mini racing thats started up over the past years as a cheap and fun alternative to the TC classes which are very compeditive. size wise it was larger than my 1/8 buggy, really wide body but not much to them at all.

hope this helps. talking about the traxxas offerings here - havent seen the AE ones driving in person.
