I think it will decrease it as weight to hp ratio is not balanced. Not to mention the rollover issues. Full size front wheel drive cars are more controllable due to the weight. The Tmaxx being made to Front wheel drive would cause turning, handling an overall loss in performance IMO. I would go against the build. Itwould be more likely just a basher typr prototype. I am curious on how it would really handle.
If you are just going to remove the rear drive line I would richen her up as you will have one less diff to turn and that will over work your engine. AGAIN I am against this so your ride, your decision your fault if it screws the maxx up.
I am not going to do it i don't feel like breaking my truck a stupid way like that. I would rather go outside tommorow and jump my truck and drive it like i stole it.
