Not to sound stupid, but is the 2wd harder to drive than the 4wd?

I think I have hime sold on the 2wd Losi with the Li batteries and some good tires?

I really thank you for the help.

2wd is not "harder" to drive persay.both 2wd and 4wd require different driving styles to be "fast" on the track with them..4wd takes an "on throttle" type of driving while 2wd is more like REAL driving from the aspect of they behave more like a REAL car in their handling characteristics, so the characteristics are more natural to any body that has ever driven or ridin in a real car. For example in a real car you either coast off throttle , or brake slightly then coast into a high speed corner and accellerate out of it, the same is true with 2wd.With 4 wd you either have to be on power or braking for them to be responsive.To attack the same corner with a 4wd you would brake before the corner and accellerate slightly through it, then on the exit roll up on the throttle untill you are lined up and peg the throttle.so 4wd is just a more aggressive driving style, while 2wd is slightly more about taking lines and maintaining corner speed to be fast on the track.To me personally 4wd is harder to drive "fast" than 2wd.

4wd is also typically a faster class, as it's usually "open". Meaning open to any and all motors, etc.. 2wd generally at least has a stock and mod class, often a novice as well. 4wd is generally a big boy class.
