#1 4w requires far more throttle control because you can't just lift power & glide flat on landings. Lift power all the way & expect a big nose dive with 4w. Driver needs to hold more on power throttle in the corner as well.

#2
2w has far better suspension & can land harder with no slap.

4w has to be landed on every down hill ramp off the jumps and has to be driven smoother.

A wheeler is a must have tool in any pit"

4wd is just different. Any wheel time is good but running a 2wd buggy is the hardest class to run consistently and takes the most finess. If u can drive a 2wd buggy good u can drive anything

As for the 3 vs4 gear tranny. It changes the rotation direction. If U ran a three gear tranny in mm when you jump throttle and braking would have the opposite effect that it does on rm.
You just reverse the motor rotation. Durango has the 3 gear option.
