well if ur car was built for 4wd, then I'd try and keep it that way.

2wd drive cars, are built for 2wd, and usually have more weight over the rear wheels ect ect.

Yes i would by a new dog bone and fix it.. Driving a 4wd in 2wd mode is hard (out of control) unless you like to do nothing but donuts all day long LOL.

yep. it was designed to be 4wd. and if you try 3wd, youll just go in whatever direction the remaining pwer wheel is headed. bad idea.

I lost my drive belt in a race. So i was 2wd for a couple of laps and it was slow and handled like crap in comparison to 4WD.
