My dad and I each got one of these
Within 5 minutes he broke one of these
Could we use one of these as a cheap fix on both front wheels?

This would make the 4wheel drive car into a 2wheel drive. As far as I can understand.
Would there be any negative affects or added stress to the clutch, transmission, or engine if we did this.
We are both new to rc cars. I've had mine less than a week and he has had his for a day now.

Both our cars have been broke on the same curb. I cracked my fuel tank. Used some plastic fusion epoxy type stuff and it seems to be holding up well.

Any insight would be very much appreciated.
