I have no real experience prior to 2010. Both 2010 and 2011 had no real reason to be wide so there weren't lots of wide bots then. The best wide bots I can think of from 2012 all had more than 4 wheels (though usually 8, probably for the bump). 33, 610, 341, 118, 67.
Since I didn't go to champs that year I don't really know some of the other good widebots though.

I understand that 4wd wide can work but I just think it's a suboptimal solution, especially with very high traction wheels like Colsons.
