the only problem with that is the truck is a handful to drive in 2wd... I tried this at the track and because of the set up of the truck, it spent more time sliding sideways or doing donuts..... the truck isn't any faster if you have it set up correctly... the drivetrain cannot be binding anywhere.. I ran my truck yesterday and was surprised how fast it still is after almost 5 gallons of fuel and the stock engine.. Nothing on the track was even close to it in monster truck.... It was almost as fast as the nitro rustler that my friend was driving..... he was a little faster on the straights,, I was better in the corners and jumps.....
