all depends on wat your going to do and go, with it. of couse a 4wd has some more things over a 2wd, but if your lookin to go just about anywhere with all that great messy stuff then a 4wd, and if your not that hardcore go with a 2wd. also i think it depends on you and wat you want. i got a 4wd mt and now i love it, and to recall the only thing 2wd i got i think its a Losi statium truck. well good luck
