That depends on what kind of off-roading you are doing. Gravel, dirt, grass, 2WD works ok, but, for rough ground, mud, sand, rocks, 4WD is best. It also depends on what kind of vehicle you are asking about. A 2WD monster truck would do better than a 4WD buggy in mildly rough terrain, but, even on smooth, soft dirt, a 4WD SCT would be better than a 2WD SCT, and a 2WD MT would be better than either SCT.so are there any benefits to 2wd over 4wd when it comes to offroad rc

Not too sure abt the 2wd being better than the sct. but 4wd is usually preferred and better! I will say in the rain I remove my drive shaft and let her rippppThat depends on what kind of off-roading you are doing.

I have to agree with you here, my Senton 3s 4x4 BLX handles much better and would run circles around my 2wd Ecx Ruckus.Not too sure abt the 2wd being better than the sct. but 4wd is usually preferred and better! I will say in the rain I remove my drive shaft and let her ripppp
In theory yes, but the front suspension geometry on a 2wd is much different than a 4wd, most 4wd cars handle like ? when run in 2wd.I got 4wd so if I want to do 2wd I can just disconnect the drive axel thingys in the front and then it's 2wd. It doesn't change the weight tho.
Except, the Senton isnt exactly a true SCT. I own several SCT's, in 2 and 4WD, and the Senton stock sits higher off the ground than any of them, including my DHK Hunter and Associated SC10, not to mention my Losi 22S and Arrma Fury 2WD's. I have said since i first seen it the Senton is a hybrid. It always looked like a cross between the Granite and the Typhon, and handles quite differently than either my Hunter or my SC10. That ground clearance makes a bit of a difference off road. Being a basher probably has something to do with that as well.I have to agree with you here, my Senton 3s 4x4 BLX handles much better and would run circles around my 2wd Ecx Ruckus.
Typically, when i try that, it just breaks stuff.I got 4wd so if I want to do 2wd I can just disconnect the drive axel thingys in the front and then it's 2wd. It doesn't change the weight tho.
Depends on your definition of fun. Have the wrong set up on a 2WD, and it goes from fun to a nightmare. I had a Castle Sidewinder SCT in my Arrma Fury, and it was way too much motor for it, so i ended up dumping the 3800KV 3660, and dropping in a 3500KV 3650. It made it much more enjoyable to run.Driving a high powered 2wd is much more challeging than a 4wd and it's actually is quite a lot of fun mastering that.
Maintenance is also very easy, 1 diff instead of 3.
But as stated above 4wd has much more grip.
Having a wrong setup on a 4wd can also be a nightmare.Depends on your definition of fun. Have the wrong set up on a 2WD, and it goes from fun to a nightmare.

Yeah... one would think...Apparently learning to drive 2wd will make you a better driver overall.
