As someone who used to race a XX myself I can safely say stuff is a whole lot easier now. Brushless motors are pretty much fit and forget - no skimming, brushes etc required. Lipo's too are much less hassle than NiCd/NiMHs - they don't need discharging and you can run one pack all day. Its never been simpler!
We tend to have twice as many 2wds as 4wds, but we generally have enough for a full 4wd heat. The popular choices are the Associated B44.1 or the Durango DEX410 at the moment.
In 2wd the Durango DEX210 seems to be the car of choice, but the Losi 22 and Schumacher Cougar SV2 both go well too.
