why such a fuss about 4wd with the front shafts removed now when people were doing it in the eighties with optima's, mini mustangs (which was also available from the factory as 2wd or 4wd), cat xls's and the like, i bet hundreds of people have done this to virtually every conceivable car over the years, i remember someone running a predator as a 2wd at teivyside years ago. as long as there are no front shafts to the wheels it is effectively a heavy 2wd car. extra weight can make a car much easier to drive so thats an advantage, front end geometry only works on high grip so thats a disadvantage on anything but astro. extra rules to ban it arent needed, its just one of those things that comes and goes, while aiding innovation, do you think the db1 and the tm2 would have ever been made if someone hadnt run a 4wd without front shafts and had then modified it to change the geometry? would you ban my 2wd because it uses a 4wd rear gearbox and a motor mount from a 1/12?? no. forget rules, let people try things and Innovate
