I always kept the 2 speed also. There's nothing like all that low end torque, especially if you're running in an area that just isn't large enough.
On a short track or in limited room, it's kinda hard to get those "long" legs out. Especially when getting stopped is an issue.
I always enjoyed crawling up and down rock piles or dirt piles. It's fun to see just what that 4wd will go through fast or slow.
