Tornado s30 front wheels wont "spin"
What I mean by "spin" is the front wheels dont turn when I spin the rear ones. After I inspected why I saw one of my rear dogbones was bent so bad it hits the shock spring. Shold I just have to replace that one dogbone and it will work fine again?

The dogbone only lightly hits the shock spring. It doesnt actually lock up the rear diff. I took it outside a few minutes ago and just tried driving it for a few seconds and it might be driving it self by only one rear wheel. Where are the grub screws located so I can check them?

RE: Tornado s30 front wheels wont
The good news is I found what you were talking about. The bad news is 2 of the screws are missing. One from the very front cup, and one from the cup that goes to the gearbox (All I see are empty threads in both of these places). Looks pretty hard to get to the one by the gearbox though. So should all I have to do is replace those and it will work? I noticed if I pushed down on the front dogbone it would spin the front wheels when the rear ones were turned too.
