ya,i upgraded it to bl,stock was brushed,
2wd is a bit difficult to steer compared to 4wd, also 4wd has better climbing power as traction is provided by 4wheels instead of two.
also 4wd comes with a bl system(velinion i think!) which i better than the brushed titan 550 motor

2WD always ends up doing donuts, if you pump the throttle at first.. You have to gradually finger the throttle... IMO, 4WD is a much better option..

2wd use inefficient motor as well....(in most cases)
4wd mostly have brushless thus powerful(except a few like sparrowhawk xt)
I'll be back.

Divyam

Yes, that's because if you upgrade to brushless, it becomes quite useless, except for going straight up and down the road...

Well,he means to say it becomes like a rustler.2wd and bl do not seem to be a good combo.So,you can drag race with it.Do weight reduction,if you can,add a stronger motor and drag race it.

^^ What iamahuman said.. Also, you always end up "burning out" and losing control, so its hardly any good for track racing, unless you have really good throttle control...

u do can upgrade to metal shocks, ball bearings, metal transmission gears, dig. high torque servos, and a BL combo, and what u get is a new car, now not only drag, you can run it on track or go out bashing...it performs strangely different to what u had

But then,I guess the slash 4X4 would be better.

obviously slasg 4X4 would be better and comparitively very cheap as well but that was an option in case u wan to get more out of your 2wd car
I'll be back.

iamahuman

yeah.That is why I will get the slash 4X4

Became an rc addict few months ago,convinced my dad to get me the slash 4x4,just don't know when.I am in the tenth standard.Still,I'll try to get it as early as I can.Dad said the longest time would be the end of my exams.I will try to convince him to get it earlier.On the brighter side,if I buy it next year,Traxxas might make it better.(Read that handling i an issue)

That's probably the best you can get for that price and has a really good build quality,tires create a lot of problem though
