torque comes from gearing and what motors are in the drive train. assuming the same motors: a 4wd with a 12:1 reduction to 4" wheels will have more torque than a 6wd with 6:1 reduction to 4" wheels.

in first almost everyone drops the center wheels lower than the outer wheels of 6 or 8wd bots so they are essentially creating a 4wd because only 4 wheels are contacting at once.
