It would depend on class. But the high end drag racing stuff is all 2 wheel drive. 70mph plus in under 2secinds.

HobbyTown has been having them on weekends. Maybe I’ll dig out something one of these weekends.

I hope this guy was just making a little joke. 132 feet in 0.6 seconds means 150 miles per hour average speed, so from a standing start you would need to average 20x the force of gravity to cover 132 feet in 0.6 seconds... this is something a model rocket would have a hard time doing.

you have to appreciate a few good chuckles...
I guess if you're going to go drag racing on a less than perfectly prepared surface get a touring car or something larger scale like an e-buggy, they will be more under control with lower grip. If you have something more formal they make RC drag race kits that are beautiful and purpose built.

For a purpose built car trying to say 4wd is better is bananas. You can get all the traction you need with proper tires and chassis. Everything else is just extra weight and rotating weight.
Maybe not so much on rough surface and smaller scale r/c. 2wd is definitely faster even on pretty poor roads with 1/5 scale.
on a actual drag strip it's not even a debate. If 4wd was better people wouldn't be running 2wd. Does a company even make a 4wd drag rc car?

You're arguing against the laws of physics. I'm not getting drawn into that any more than I have lol.
I will admit these cars are pretty gnarly.
