i dont really use it outside much....but i can climb up and over alot of stuff in my house. Its a alot better offroading when u lock the rear diff. I know many pple who use it on loose dirt or mud and they say it works well.

Its not a true 4WD, its a " pivot triangle susp" on a set of ball joints. It acts like 4WD, but its really not......never the less fun.
Speed is not bad, but its a great climber

I see what your saying, but if all 4 wheels arent spinning its not 4 wheel drive. And it cant be like 4 wheel drive, it is or it is not 4wd.

I think you can, there is not reason what you could not with these cars. The tires ae nobbie the susp is flexable......Within reason sure you could.

I have went thru mud with mine many times. It cant be too deep and it has to be pretty watery. T3, if I wasnt trading mine for a micro rs4 I would sell/trade mine to you. I imported mine from tokyo before anyone even heard about them in the usa and I got the toyota instead of the pajero rally body.
Heres a pic of my truck
