Are the 4WD buggies like the 22-4 grouped in 4wd Open offroad , If the are enough of them will they be grouped by themselves?

Does anyone know what tire to use there with 2wd or 4wd buggies?

Badlands work well with the 10th scale short course 4WD drive trucks. Something with a knobby tread pattern may work. For me 2wd drive buggies and SCT's were a mystery at Elburn Days. In my opinion it takes the right tire, the right spring and shock setup, and slipper adjustment. I know that's true of many surfaces, but the Elburn Days track is unique.

I Know , The Elburn track is always pretty loose . I was thinking Something the the old bowtie tires we used to use on loose dirt (good luck finding that kind of tire anymore)

Clarification on a rule for 4x4 sct 2s battery with 550 4.5, 5.5,6.5 No 3s battery.
If you have 1900kv 2050kv 2000kv, 40mm motor 4s battery is ok

Does that mean I can run an 1/8 system in my 1/10 4WD SCT?
