but what does this has to do with the topic of this thread????? oh and BTW there are 5ive owners that have made their trucks 2wd just for the fun of it.

It mainly carries over from my 1:1 hobby, where AWD has almost 2x the drivetrain loss.

I had a baja with a 29cc kit and all CF parts, and it was a nice basher. Just the right amount of power for a 2wd.

I'm talking brushless. 2wd is useless given the awesome torque of brushless motors.
