Hi Carl
2wd is the predominant class these days being supported in larger numbers than 4wd at club level.
Yes we do race short course trucks but only at large meetings on a general Thursday/Sunday club meeting it's 2wd and a few 4wds
Brushed motors and esc and nimhs don't really get used for racing anymore although perfectly useable brushless and lipo is so much more efficient and hassle free
Steer well clear of the hobao you will spend forever in apex models ordering parts they are not a very strong car. Best bet is to look at what everyone at the track runs then go from there I would recommend a losi 22. Nothing wrong with a second hand roller
Hope this helps
James
