tornado problem
 
so today i took my tornado down to my local race track(on road) and it fired up n ran good until i crashed..... my bad.... stil ran great but when i applied brakes it would turn....
stoped it and looked at it...left dogbone was missing...$h1t[:@] looked for it and i found it..good, kept running but i could hear a metalic sound from the front of the car....i ask the rc maniacs there and they say its a broken front gearbox(aka differentials)....still kept running but it got dark..so what? there was lighting so i kept running (it was only 5) i crash again $h1t... dogbone was missing again.... this time i couldn't find it.....[:@][:@][:@]..... anyway i'm stuck with a car that runs great but has busted diffs and is missing a dogbone...can't order anything online for a month .....oh come on [:@] anyway only one obvious solution.....run 2wd for a month....is there anyway to make the car stable in 2wd? i'll only be bashing so i dont really care
i'll post vids!!!!(maybe for that best bashing contest:D)

just take out the dogbone that goes from the trans to the front diff and the other dogbone you have on the front and wa laaa, you have rear wheel drive.

ok that sound easy.... i have heard 2wd cars are not stable... is that true? if yes how can i make it more stable?

your welcome guys,

not much you can do, its just the way it is, rear wheel drive is not as stable as all wheel drive. i have some rwd on road electrics and foam tires will help you out greatly.
