i have a tamiya big wig that is 4wd, the drive shaft that goes from the back gear box to the front one got bent. can the tamiya big wig run on 2wd? will it go faster this way? or will i screw up the gears?

plz not that i dont plan on restoring it anyways, its more something i can beat around.

Re: 2wd mod on 4wd buggy

It will run fine as a 2WD, just remove the bent shaft. If you don't plan on restoring it, then you can remove the entire front diff and shafts to the front wheels as well, just added weight at that point.
