Default 4wd to 2wd

Is it ok to run my HPI RS4 Evo 3 with two wheel drive? I just took out the front dogbones it it looks like it might work. Will this wear out the engine faster? Thanks!

It won't hurt anything, it just won't handle very well. I assume your car has a rear diff, that will help though. Solid rears on 2wd don't work at all.

A 2wd car has a completly different chassis to a 4wd car. The back of a 2wd car is independant from the front and the front steering usually sits on rockers so the front wheels dfont load up during the turns. Check out the 2wd thread on here to see examples of 2wd 1/8th cars and you will see what I mean. 4wd cars with no front drive are impossible to drive

Cheers
