Default fwd mod for evo trucks!!!

I was taking my titan apart today and i found a way to make it run front wheel drive, without losing any power or top end speed.
What you need is:
4wd kit for evo trucks
What you might want:
Bearing kit, it helps alittle.

1. Start by taking the rear spacer off.
2. Get to the rear differential.
3. Remove the rear differential, but leave the piece above the differential in place.
4. install the 4wd kit with the rear differential out.
5. went your finished with installing the 4wd kit, u will only get power to the front wheels, without lose of power. So all u really need to do is take out the rear differential when u have a 4wd kit in. This mod only works for evo trucks, not cars. Hope u find this usefull.

Ill get pics later.

because it makes a really good drifter, and it improves the turning by about 50%. It also uses less batteries then 4wd which people use to drift, this is a way to still drift as well as a 4wd truck with the battery life and speed of a 2wd truck.

because if u take out the differential then there is less friction and gear mess. i tried just taking out the rear dog bones and it hurts the run time and speed. If u remove the rear differential then the motor is directly connected to the front wheels, and makes the front differential almost become completely locked.

Theirs not point in it. Your not really drifting, your just slopping the rear end around. FWD cannot properly drift at this scale.

Just like the FWD mod for the cars... no point. Unless you were going for scale realism on the car, on the trucks its just, wierd...

i agree fwd on truck is pointless but not on cars. one of my funnest xmods cars to drive is fwd... it handels great and i actually had a gen1 Black Acura Rsx that i would race againts my buddies gen1 350z both all stock other than bearings and my fwd and no matter what he did he could not keep up with my Rsx... and we were both using brand new rs rechargables......
