Maybe a total stupid question, but not have a my scoob that long. Will those cars have dccd boxs?

they look to be handling like a rwd car, I am just wondering if it is due to more power going to the rear wheels or it is simply more power?

At the end of the day if he has the money to repair it if it goes bang then fair play to him. After all people pay £500k for a WRC car and rag it through forrests. Looks great fun though.
