Front Wheel Drive Micro?

Is there any way to convert the MRS4 to a front wheel drive car? This is very tricky since the rear diff case has to spin in order to connect to the front diff pulley. I've been thinking about removing the diff bevels but that totally loses the rear axle support. Any way to do this?

If you have the ball diff, you can remove the diff balls and not tighten it all the way. I don't know why you want to, but the micro won't drive well like this.

Or in the case of a gear diff remove the small gears and do not tighten the rear axle

Yeah I know this is a year old but I figured that I would say just incase anyone else was wondering. Just get a rear balldiff, and make it loose enough so that when you accelerate the rear wheels won't get any power. Also, It won't drive well at all. It spins out like if it's on ice.

Or you can totally take the back wheels off so the back is on the ground and the front wheels will drive it.
