Four wheel drive?

[andylinney]

I'm looking into getting myself another FG 1/5 scale. At after having a Marder a good few years back and have noticed that FG now do four wheel drive models.*

There were a few, very expensive, engineer made homebrew conversion kits knocking about back then but spares and reliability were always a concern for me.*

So, what are the factory kits like in terms of running and reliability? Are they worth the bother or just an awkward work-around for a heavy throttle finger?

ftx punisher is a good buy for the money and so is a mcd v4 both are worth a look

If your wantinf 4WD, then id have a look at the new losi (but it is expensive), try and get a decent 2nd hand MCD evo3 of ebay. A V4 would be pretty expensive and evo3 parts are still widely available for good prices. Or the FG 4WD baja which is supposed to be alright however ive not read many review regarding it as yet.

My choice would be the MCD evo3. Whilst i like the losi 5T, there only new, so like their 8ight, theyll no doubt bring out a 2.0 version with some edits. And hopefully bring out a roller version.

However, as that is not the case, id go for the MCD

having seen some of the 4x4's race i would say the ftx is a good buy
its cheap and seams to stand up to the knocks
