Would it be a totally bad idea to run my 4 wheel drive nitro car with a missing front left dogbone?
 
I pulled the entire front drivetrain out of one of my revos just to see what it ran like in two wheel drive. I put it all back after about 3 minutes of running.
 
If you pull both out you can run rear wheel drive but given the fact it was built as a 4wd you will end up spinning a lot and probably burn out the diff because they arent meant to take all the power a nitro will throw at it by themselves
 
You need a new dog bone because now you only have only 2WD. Next time, paint you dog bones with some orange or yellow paint so you can find it if it comes off again. (maybe)
