That being said, you will be better off getting a 4wd kit to put on the track. Which is a good thing. I don't know of any RTR 4wd short course truck that comes with a sensored system in it. I don't know of too many RTRs that I would get to show up at a track and start racing with, unless the track had a novice class. Track worthy 4wd short course RTRs... that's an even slimmer selection. Buying a kit and putting in electronics you want will be cheaper in the long run. Buying a RTR package with "so-so" gear and motor you can't even use is not good idea. Just my opinion and like Mechicaloverlord said, find out what rules the track has on motors.
