Very weird .. 2x4 .. One motor ..
It must surely consumed less electricity ..
I think it's done from the standpoint that most of the beating on a monster truck would be up front... crushing cars, big-headed posters' "my hobby build is better than your toy build" cars, etc. If the front tires are off the ground, they perform no function spinning and eating the batteries.

Monster Trucks can be 2 or 4 wheel drive, depending on the model. If you're wondering what the difference is, the answer is power!
While top speeds aren't greatly effected by 2 or 4 wheel drive systems, an MT with all 4 wheels powering it over the ground will obviously be able to cope with heavier terrain than a 2 wheel drive MT.
So with that said, if you're jumping cars and stuff and have the front wheels of the ground a lot, the 4x4 is worthless to you... 2x4 is perfect. It places the power to the back of the truck where you'll need it most. If you're looking to road-off the thing, then 4x4 is the answer for you.
