What is the speed difference between a 2wd and 4wd on solid flat ground, mildly rough terrain and really rough terrain. Can a 2wd climb, how well compared to a 4wd, could it make it up a 45 degree incline as easy as a 4wd? I am sorry for asking so many questions.

i think that 4wd is just better all round..........better acelleration.............better handling.........thas about all i can say

True, BUT, it takes more power to move more parts

The 2wd will be fine on flat to mild, But climbing and such, or loose ground, the 4wd will kick butt!

i like 2wd on my rc10gt i roast my bro's t-maxx 4wd all the time however his truck stays on the ground better and has better handling

It's hard to compare stadium trucks to monster trucks in way of performance, as I've seen a couple of times in these threads. You need to put the HPI MT against the RC10 or equivalent. I would hope any race truck would smoke a monster truck on track conditions. I think a 4wd will have more control off the line. My $.02

To get my GT to jump a double takes a lot of planning and speed, but for the 4wd electric bunch, they just line up and squirt right over.

If all things are the same, 2wd will have a higher top speed that a 4wd.

i have a losi gtx 2wd, and when im goin about 20mph and punch it, it starts to fishtale and spinout, its very hard to control, my buddy has a tmaxx and it doesnt fishtale at all unless u start to turn left and right fast, overall i would like to have a 4wd, but i can smoke him in just about anything except climbing and snow driving lol

There's that Monster vs. Stadium issue again. You just can't compare a 7# truck to a 4# truck with the same engine. As for your getting squirrely, just use a little throttle control. In loose conditions it is hard to get good bite but you can still get loose on high grip surfaces. I used to have a XXXNT with a Picco .12 that would go over backwards if I stomped on it at 20 if it had good traction. However, I raced very competitively on a slick surface. Its like driving a real car, in the snow you don't stomp the gas.

well i meant that it spins out on my road which is dirt, but there is still some snow left up here in alaska where i live

Man, I remember when I first bought an Losi xx4, I thought I was a kick ass driver It was so easy to drive compared to an 2wd buggy. And I could run a hotter mod motor and still remain in control. :surprised
