I'm sure with a lot more power, it would NEED 4WD. If I go BL, I might just get a Medusa 36-50 or similar. There was quite a bit weight removed; just the diffs and top shaft alone were quite heavy. But the biggest savings was drag removed. Put it this way, with 4WD, I almost didn't need to apply the brake at all. With 2WD, the XL5/Titan doesn't have enough braking force at max.

Stock body. Call me easily amused, but I rather like the way the stock 4-tec body looks.
