[OXO cube]

recently entered a 4wd SCX seat Cordoba into the wye summer rally as a proxy entry 
i used the TecniToys Pro Turbo 4x4 motor 
changed the gearing so the fronts wheels were faster , thinking they would in effect pull the car around corners and left the original rear gearing 
supported the long motor shaft to remove play and keep the gears in mesh  
fixed the braids to get maximum guide depth 
used a nice average weight with a 40/60 balance 
lexan interior and glazing 

was hoping for great ( or atleast decent ) things , but alas disappointment was on the horizon   

it came 2nd last !?!?!?!?
my 2wd Scally TR7 rebuild performed better!?!?!?

however upon return i noticed one of the rear bushings had popped out ( i had forgotten to fix in place )
not sure if this happened in the return post or not ?
after repositioning and gluing the bushings it runs great now and beats the pants off the TR7 hands down so maybe it went un-noticed 
but either way it was a lesson learnt ( glue/fix  bushings every time )

having said that i would agree with both Leo and Chris , rear 2wd is the best route 
the Cordoba will now have to wait for a 4wd only class me thinks 
but i must say i really enjoyed the 4x4 build
