Loved the RS2000 mate, was a shame it met the fate it did.

Escos will be a belter if the old car is anything to go by!

Though I do think 4WD would be better, but I don't doubt it will still claim a hell of a lot of scalps either way

thanks mate


im not keen on 4wd to be honest although they are good , i just like rwd
as i have driven rwd all my life apart from an rs1600i and this rs2k they are the only fwd cars i have ever driven

if it's no good in rwd ill will 4wd it i cant see that happing tho lol

a 2wd set up properly can be just as good as 4wd if not better
