Sort of proves the brand of RC does make a difference with the driver! By this, it is not all driver and the AE was better than what he is sponsored by and normally drives!!! Interesting facts!
Looks like Associated got a freebie with this driver that was not even paid by AE!!!!
Aside from the fact that all it takes is one bad turn or altercation with another vehicle to not podium, 2wd and 4wd are different driving skill sets. So your point is not valid.
If he was driving an HB 2wd and had as good of a race as he did with the B4, he likely still would have won. Once your car is setup to your liking, the rest is driver skill, a little luck not getting caught in a wreck or hung up behind lapped traffic and vehicle durability.
