Default fwd

it is way better for steering around sharp turns but you need to position the batt closer to the rear of the car for more down force!!!!!!!!!

No, supra star is right. AWD is way better, because you get pushed AND pulled through a turn, not to mention the traction advantages of spreading out your power.

FWD sucks, but what's wrong with AWD? I can never get traction at home without it.

I think that fwd is dumb. I have a nitro powered rc car, and it is all wheel drive. I took out one of the driveshafts out and made it rear wheel drive, the only 1:10 rc car with rear wheel drive. I also made a front wheel drive for my xmods and it sucks balls. All it does is understeer. And it cant drift. :x

Default okay?

fwd should be better for drifting! you get grip in the front, leting you controolit better, and better steerung, suposibly. and its c=gurentied as long as your car works, you wont get stuck in snow.

dont be stupid and drive in snow!
