Ya you can no problem. I've tried it just for fun. You'll find way better performance, traction and steering in 4wd though.

Most of us that have had their savages for a while have done this by accident. Either losing a drive cup grub screw or a dog bone. It gets old quickly.

Honestly, I started with, and only had, 2wd for a long time. The only way I'd buy another 2wd rig is either a Baja 5B or to get into racing.

i no i lost a grub screw waiting for the new ones to came getting board that i cant drive my savage just seeing it wont hurt the car like the gears wont get striped or the clutch go on it

 

[Rooky]

Yep! Go for it! Lol I wondered.

going to try it got to try and get a snapped hex key out the front drive cup should i take out the front dog or just take out the grub screw out or all the dogs on front

I would take all 3 front dog bones out, no point in turning them if you don't have power to them

I have an old OFNA Monster Pirate that is currently RWD due to a crash. Pull all the dog bones so there is no wear on the front diff. Can't keep the thing going straight on a polished concrete floor, good amusement value for a short period of time.

the 3mm x 18 mm should however be correct for all savage models
