tbh carpet was a luxury too... most of the clubs i ran inddors at were shiny wooden floors!
it was mainly grass tracks at the beginning of the season... turning to dirt by the end!
Another factor was the weight of equipment and certainly of Nicad cell packs, we now choose to weight cars and where the weight is placed.
The r/c buggy market is largest in America and mainly manufacturers based there... Losi has mentioned with marketing for the 22 release that rear motor cars are more suited to loose dirt tracks and mid motor config for higher grip surfaces.
