I wasn't bashing 2wd. I just stated a fact that a 4x4 drivetrain will lose more power to gear inefficiency than a 2x4 drivetrain. I love my 4x4 rc trucks, but if I had to have something with a weak 26cc motor, I don't want to lose any more power than absolutely necessary. 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.
