1/8 scale buggy

Has anybody ever made there buggy a two wheel drive and if yes how????

You could easily do it by removing the front center driveshaft. I've never done on a buggy, but have done it to my Maxx and my Nitro RS4. It really changes the way the car runs. Especially under heavy braking and heavy acceleration. The back end really wants to come around very easily under both conditions.

I wouldn't do it for any extended amount of time. You'll be putting a lot of stress on the drive axle.

Don't forget, if you remove the front center driveshift you MUST lock the center diff or the center diff will simply spin and the car won'y go anywhere.

how do you lock the center diff????

i jus brought a 2 speed transmission and i wanna make it a 2 wheel drive while i got it out,so how do you lock the center diff so it will be a 2 wheel drive.

Not familiar with how your 2-speed works... Does the 2-speed tranny replace your center diff?

The easiest way to lock your diff is to fill it with silly putty of something of the like.

ok ill try that,but my new 2 speed trans replace my center diff!!!

Ok, then you probably don't have to do anything. I imagine the 2-speed is inherantly a solid output to both front and rear so there's nothing else to be done aside from installing it.
