Default Front Drive Shaft?

So I was out bashing a bit, and when I was done I noticed the front drive shaft was missing. Why would it pop out like that? Is it normal flex? I checked and all was tight. It's a stock Savage 25 rtr with the 4 bevel front and rear diffs in it, and I put adjustable upper arms on it. Maybe I messed up?? [X(]

It must have broke on a hard frontal landing. It would take alot for it to just pop out.

Sure, you'll just be runnin 2wd with only half the breaking power. Other than that it won't hurt. Just get ready for some mad doughnuts and no control!

runing 2wd can ruin your rear diff as its too much power fro only 2 wheels. Lost my trany once after mesing with it in 2wd mode and had to replave the diff....
