Default 2wd front brakes?

Does anyone know of a rule that would disallow front brakes on a 2wd car?

not strictly but yes I cant see any way to add them mate, not unless it is telepathy..

you cant add any other electrics like an extra servo or some sort of electic madness.. they are not allowed in the rules. but there is nothing about front brakes exactly

put your one-way 'diff' in backwards

not sure what the rules would say about that though, and even more so, WHY? we run one-ways in 4WD so the front wheels Don't brake, why would you want them to brake?

yep, if you had your one-way in backwards, you would have a 2WD car! but with 4WD brakes

that is the only way I can think of doing it legally

The only way I could think of getting front brakes on a 2WD would be to create a front wheel drive car...like the Kyosho Maxxum.

Hey Bert,

Maybe we both need treatment....we can split the treatment costs.
