Re: 4 wheel drive vs. 2 wheel drive
To everyone considering not using all wheel drive: DON'T DO IT!!!
I don't care if you are steering, not steering, using 2 wheels or 18. With the limited amount of usable force available you want every wheel touching the ground to contribute to converting normal force into tractive force. Every non powered wheel you have touching the ground will reduce your ability to accelerate and push.
