Default 2wd or 4wd?

I have decided to get myself a new 1:10th off road buggy for the start of the new outdoor season in april. The trouble is I really can't decide whether to get a 4wd or a 2wd and then which buggy to get i.e b44.1, durango etc.

What are the pros and cons of each class and what would you recommend for me to get.

It has to be less than £300 and a kit not a rtr.

I currently race a Schumacher CAT'98 4wd but i think i would like to try 2wd and I may even consider a short course truck.

I race on astro turf at Bury Metro and carpet/pollished wood floor during the winter.

Thanks for you help.

Josh

Best advice is to race what is more popular at the tracks you plan to go to.

Apart from that, there is not much to choose between 2wd and 4wd - 2wd is a little cheaper and simpler, 4wd is a little faster and easier to drive in difficult conditions.

Short course is a novelty class in the UK. OK as a second car but I wouldn't make it my main one.

Losi 22 should/will be out by then i think they'll be quite popular round the tracks in the uk and at a decent price around the £200 mark and as sosidge has said 2wd slightly cheaper but harder to drive and i would'nt bother with a sc truck 2wd and 4wd are the main classes in the uk


4wd i'd say the Durango

Next time you're down at Bury you will have to let me have a go of your Durango so I can see if it suits me.
