Err Sam,
I specifically said I wasn't having a go at the WeRock/buggy events.
I am also under no illusion that a full-bodied rig is not competative with buggies, nor that they are not really comparable for competition.
And I said myself, that like F1, hopefully the buggies will result in developments that will filter down to the "lesser" classes. But I think you play up some of the development attributing it to buggies when I think much of it was happening already regardless, and I think you overlook developments and initatives that come out of other areas of competative 4x4's like winch challenges.
As for the "atlas, some dana 60s with CTMs and 300m shafts", well none of those specific components are on the plans I have, but yes I do want to build a good street legal rig - what's the prob there?
So in summary all the best with with WERock, but don't get too high & mighty on us 'eh
