Here's a question; What places 1st in 99% of the rock crawling competitions? Auto's. What are most of them built with; auto's. So I guess it would be up to the terrain and what you're looking for your rig to do.chrfalI ran a stick for the longest time with an overall reduction of 119%. I'm now running an auto and I have to tell ya, I'm loving every bit of it jamminzz And I do just rocks jamminzz
