Default 2WD or 4WD that is the question?

Hi all,

Back into racing after about 10 years - going to be a regular at Caldicott on a Friday later this year/next. However, I just can't decide to buy a 2wd or 4wd. My heart says durango 410, but how many 4wd run at the club regulary? Is there always enough for 4wd racing?

Ps: what tyres do most run, shumacher minipins yellows?

Thanks

Si

There are more 2wd but there is always a 4wd heat yellows are the best to use but I'd think about getting a b44 or b44.1 has most of us got spares and Paul has no Durango spares so if u brake it and haven't got the part ur buggered lol

Thanks Hit, Will take a closer look at the b44.1. What generally breaks, suspension arms, shock towers?

If your local club run mainly 2wd i would get a 2wd. You will only end up buying one when you get bored racing in 1 heat. Also 2wd are cheaper and easier to maintain.

There is pretty much always a heat of both 2wd and 4wd

Thanks all, if people are always running 4wd this is what i prob will go for! I'll see you all sometime soon, if I go durango 410 I get some spares too!! Just not sure on the B44.1, just don't like the design as much as the 410!
