Disable X Drive?

My buddy just made a comment to me that if you pull the right fuse you can disable the X Drive system entirely.

Thus you could run a filthy sick looking big staggered wheel pair (not that I know anything about that of course) and not destroy your differential or loose power.

Can anyone shed some light on this? I would be totally fine with RWD and only bought AWD because it was cheaper.

XHP has X Delete, it's a flash based software to turn C drive to RWD 👍🏻

^What Boston said. Get the black f-chassis MHD wifi flasher, officially supported by XHP. I flashed stage 3 trans last weekend and it all worked flawlessly. You buy the maps/tunes/xdelete on xhps website now and redeem the voucher code in the app and then you can flash. I'm RWD so can't specifically review xdelete but the TCU stage 3 software is amazing and fixed all the little issues I had with the trans, and the process was clean and straightforward. The other guy who posted the thread "everyone should know about xhp" wasn't lying
