Default rs2k 4x4

im thinking of buying an rs2k 4x4,

im just wondering wether there strong cars really, and wether the 4x4 system can take alot of power?

and are they good cars to "launch" or do bits break easy on them?

thanks

Mike

the 4x4 isnt to good to launch as the 4x4 transmission bogs down as you cant spin the wheels. the best way to launch it is to ride the clutch. they are great cars through corners if you get one use high octane fuel. 97ron or shells 98 as it really does make a differance
