2WD vs. 4WD

[Sumil]

hi guys,

apart from the obvious reasons of why 2wd is different to 4wd what are the main benefits of either one?

which do you guys prefer and why?

please keep in mind my use for a off road electric buggy would be purely bashing purposes.

thanks in advance for your comments

If your just bashing you may aswell buy a cheap ready to run car that you are able to get spares for if you need them.
2wd,you will be able to maintain easier than a 4wd due to less working parts.

i know what you mean mate!

a member mentioned the Losi 22 RTR and the AE b4.1

any ideas how quick these are??

i have been searching but cant seem to find much info on the RTR models

2wd in my experience is slightly more tricky to race than 4wd.

Thats interesting, as my opinion is completely the opposite. I dont know whether it is just my style and the lines I take, but I find 2wd easier than 4wd.

for bashing you can not beat a b4 loads of cheap 2nd parts and pretty bulletproof

thanks for the insight

for bashing about i'm going to throw out a longshot and say a 2wd stadium truck will be tons of fun.

Both losi and AE offer RTR versions of the trucks
and although they arent a popular class for racing in terms of fun they are great
