1/8th scale buggies are almost indestructible. Most are actually nitro buggies converted to electric. They are a totally different size and design than a 2wd or 4wd 1/10th buggy.
4wd 1/10th scale buggies are commonly referred to as "4wd buggies" where 1/8th scale 4wd buggies are referred to as "electric 1/8th buggies" or "electric 1/8 scales" or "E-scales".

4wd may seem easier to drive, but they are harder to drive fast.
learn 2wd first you will be alot better in the long run

The flat out agility of a lightweight 2wd buggy.

My 2WD is definitely a challenge...fishtails like mad around tight curves on a dirt track, but I kind of like that challenge. Clean-up is no particular problem.

imho the 2wd is way easier to drive than 4wd.the 4wd requires a bit more finess and is more twitchy.on throttle its very sensitive as well.

1) 2WD class is bigger (well it use to be)
2) 2WD buggies much cheaper than 4WD
3) 2WD are lighter
4) 2WD more of a challenge
5) 2WD have less parts to break and maintain

For beginners 2wd buggy is the way to go. It will teach a driver throttle control and will in a way force the driver to work on setups, suspension tires, gearing etc. As for 4wd buggy they are easier to drive and a driver can get away with alot more driving mistakes. 4wd are more cost maintence then 2wd do to more moving parts.

if i drove 1/10th buggy it would sure be 2wd, i hate how 4wd handles.
it just doesn't feel good for me.
but i'm into 1/10 and 1/8 truck so...

I want to get a B4 buggy since there more people at the track who run them then 4wd Buggys and they look really fun to drive

8th is tough
10th 4wd is more brittle
10th 2wd is less expensive
Personally I dont believe 2wd or 4wd is any harder or easier than the other, its just what your used to, will be easier for you to drive.
4wd breaks easier and is more expensive to purchase and maintain, so starting and learning in 2wd makes sence.
They are both fun in a differnet way, and I enjoy both classes equally when the track is prepped. When the track is dusty and not prepped 4wd puts down traction where 2wd is sliding all over the place.
8th is great because they are tough as nails, but if your not careful shopping around for batteries and or tires / rims (looking for deals) - it can be considerably more expensive.

I know what you mean by being careful shopping for batteries.. Ive got (2) 4s and (2) 6s.. If i bought them locally they would have easily cost me over $1000! But since slapping on the Mamba 2200 I HAVE had to replace a few sets of tires learning that I couldn't nail it at slow speeds
That my friends will literally SHRED tires!
