so i wanted to ask if you think it can help me in the driving and if you think i can enjoy it as much as the 4wd.
is it fast and quick as the 4wd?
I fiind the said durability or lack there of on the 44.2 is just not true. They are indeed durable and my buddy notoriously crashes and flips his in ways you would certainly think it has to break and all he does is pop off ball cups every so often and that's it.
If I didn't want a damn Schumacher K1 or like the Durango 4WD so much I'd be getting a 44.2, which is still not out of the question. My best friend just put his 44.2 together and it's really nice. I do however detest the stock JConcepts body. I much Prefer the Bulldog.
It'a also been my experience that it's easier to drive a 4WD than it is a 2WD but a stock 2WD shouldn't take much time to get used to and learn to drive. I say if 2WD is what you want, go for it and run Stock until you fell you're ready to jump into Mod classes and then get a 4WD. You will immediately feel you're doing better with a 4WD after you've gotten proficient with a fast 2WD or even a quick Stock 2WD.
