    Who would want 4WD? someone that puts it in the mud??

    I'll be building a mini track out somewhere on my trike track to play on. Big jumps, double jumps, step ups and so on.

    It's got to be tough!!

    I recently sold my Traxxas Slash 2wd, it was a great fun truck just slightly modded. Velion motor VXL ESC, LCG chassis and aftermarket A arms and shocks. It even survived a high speed tag of a fence post that sent it spinning on it's roof and kicked my night driving light out.
    I drove a bunch of my buddy's 4wd short course trucks, and the biggest thing I noticed is that the 4wd trucks come out of the hole harder and corner a bit better on the throttle. If money is no object and you want something different, there's the Axial Racing SCORE Trophy Truck, which has a solid rear axle and handles totally different than any other short course truck. Hit up your local RC shop and chat up the guys behind the counter, the ones locally were more than happy to let me test drive their shop demos and a few of their personal rigs.

    Check out headquake on YouTube. All slow speed crawling type rc's, but he builds pretty cool replicas of classic trucks. The detail is impressive.
    The full build vids are awesome.

    Cars are fun. Have a 1/16 revo, full brushless, lipos, etc. Fun as f. Have it's full size twin as well, that's tore down for a motor upgrade. Got out of wheeled rc for quite a while,took up flying.

    I have no idea. It’s not branded anywhere, no markings on engine either. It used to have a nice exhaust pipe too but that has disappeared. The servos are long gone too (used for other car) I’d like to get it going someday.

    I’ll have to clean up the engine better, it must be marked somewhere for engine size anyway right?
