How would you figure even in the least that the 5b would be a bad 4X4? First off it is a rail style buggy, which in the world of a 1:1 are in a lot of cases 4X4. The 5b is in my eyes the best looking 1/5th scale R/C buggy being made, and with the way it is built can take a lot of punishment. So why would anyone want to go for an inferior design as an alternative. Converting any vehicle from 2wd to 4wd creates a less efficiant power curve, but the trade offs in basic handling are usually well worth the effort. If you put a 5b 2wd up against a 5b 4wd with the exact same powerplant, which one do you think will prevail? I would take the 4X4 any day.
