RC gurus... help a new guy out?

Only problem is that it's 2wd and so weak that it can't run on the grass! Is there any easy way to mod this junk to make it more powerful?

Yeah i got the same for my bday. My only problem with it is that the steering is VERY slow. It takes a good second to respond. But mines not too bad power wise....runs on grass ok. But only at full battery life.

really? does it matter that i'm running 4x AA's rather than the other battery options?

I have no idea. I got a 6V battery and charger with it so I dunno if it makes a difference with 4 AA's
