How to choose: 2WD vs 4WD

May sound a bit silly but for 2WD vs 4WD, which one is with more fun to run? I guess "easy for maintenance" would go to 2WD.

Much thanks! I have got 2 cars to pick on; Zx5 and RB5 and just can't make up my mind!

Would like to ask if those Proline Buggy tires durable or they wear down quickly? Thanks!

I guess if everything is identical, 2WD should have a longer run time than 4WD due to the energy expense in 4WD is higher than 2WD.

Yes, I do think so.  And theorectically 2WD should be lighter which helps a longer run time as well......

The more I study the 2WD, the higher the desire to get the car, wanna to have it this weekend so I can run on next weekend!

Thanks for all the comments! How about the durability? Which one is better 2WD or 4WD?

Since 2WD is much simple, of course more durable.
One thing very important for beginner. If you play with bros such as in TKO, most of them play 4WD (DF03) but you drive 2WD, you can't catch up  ...

I see! But won't it be due to the ligther in weight with 2WD, the speed for both should be similar. Please correct if being wrong! Thx!

如果只跑直路,2WD可能快D因為輕.
但如果在沙地(抓着力低的地方)互相追逐走彎的話,2WD因抓着力不及4WD,便會甩尾(即失速). 所以過彎便會比人放甩,所以得直路快是冇用的.
我建意不如你去TKO睇人放一 ...

Much much thanks!!

2WD is really that bad to run? Bro GigaRacer, could you share the difficulties?
