Default What's with 4wd?

I have just got back in to racing. And I'm quite surprised to see 4wd has died a bit of a deth.
I know 2wd has always been more popular but why has 4wd got so unpopular?

I bought a one run old b44.1 but have since found most round here run 2wd so im now considering putting it up for a swap for a 2wd which is a shame

B44.1 based 2wd? Then what you have already will be a good base to start with. Just an idea.

We have, probably, a 60/40 split favoring 2WD at YORCC. There are some that only race 4wd (me included) and some that only race 2wd and others that race whatever championship is running that night.

Agree, I also recently got back into RC hobby and found out there are still many 4wd kits available.

Maybe that's at your club or region - in the Netherlands 4WD has grown quite massively this season compared to the last!

4wd in the northampton / MK area is almost non existent but that is probably due to indoor astro where 2wd is almost as quick and needs less maintenance.
