Question is, I have heard the buggies are pretty unforgiving but will also make you a better driver. Thinking of getting a 22 and running stock class. both the buggy and truck class are very competitive usually enough for two races. I am looking for something exciting but don't want to get in over my head if these are truly that unforgiving.
2wd stock is a GREAT place to start racing. It's where all the old-timers like myself started way back in the late 80's / early 90's. That's all we had. All of the 4wd vehicles that people are starting with nowadays act much like a crutch and drive many people away from 2wd Mod forever - when in fact it's one of the most rewarding classes to be able to go fast in. Go for it and start with 2wd Stock. You won't regret it.
