SCT 2wd vs 4wd
Which is better for a rookie off road racer? 2wd or 4wd SCT? It seems from what I have read, SCT seems like a good place to start.

2WD
I say 2WD - cheaper to run and less maintenance.
#4
What about 2wd buggy? Seems to be making a comeback at most tracks, but I have heard they are difficult to drive?

If specifics help, 2wd buggy is going to require more finesse and proper line up of jumps. It won't be as forgiving as point and shoot jumping. Sideways landings or coming off the ramp at an angle are amplified. Based on how the industry went with "Stadium trucks" (Buggies with bigger tires) and "Truggys" (At least these didn't hide the uggy this time, it's a buggy with bigger tires), I'd say there is something to learn from the trend in terms of drivability.
2wd buggy is fun and if that is what most folks are driving, then go with the crowd. But if the questions is a simple "Which is easier to drive?". Then I'd say SC.

They are harder to drive. For a beginner, short course seems perfect to me these days.

For a newer driver, the short course trucks are a lot more durable. The 1/10 scale buggies won't take a lot of abuse or bad landings before breaking something.
I'd also recommend starting with 2wd. They are a little harder to drive, but they'll teach you throttle control, and once you master a 2wd, 4wd is a cakewalk.
