Default no front dogbone

i have a tornado bb and was wondering if you remove the front dogbone that connects the front diff to the transmission, will the car still run without any damage to any parts? im just wondering because me rear recently broke so i was asking to see if it was ok to still run the car and making sure no further damage will happen to the transmission or any parts like that? thanks guys.

If you run just the front it will handle like crap. High speeds can get scary. It wont hurt anything other than performance. If you ran just teh rear it will be fine and handle fine.

you can run it front wheel or rear wheel only and it wont break anything. I dont think the front and rear are the same length though.

You should run it rwd sometime though, its really kinda fun!

I would not run it front wheel because it gets real scary at higher speeds.

yea plus in fwd it makes it really hard to take off and stop, since it spins bad when accelerating and the brakes will just lock the front wheels
