[HELP] Car Transmission

[Jullian_pdx]

I'm in the process if building a AWD car with twin PF L motors. Is it proper to have a differential on the transmission line between the front and rear differentials?

[Alasdair Ryan]

I think it will depend on what make/kind of car you are going to be making.

[Tommy Styrvoky]

It also depends on Size and if you decide to have locking diffs on the axles.

[Jullian_pdx]

I'm still working on the proportions but as it stands right now 27 studs wide and 56 studs long.

As for type of car it could be a muscle car at this point. Working on the chassis first.

for road cars i would always use a center diff

[Milan]

If the car will be driven only on solid, flat surface, then its ok. But if you want it to be able to go over a small bump or to drive over carpet, central diff oculd be a problem (it will stuck a car if only one wheel is off the ground)

[Rockbrick]

You could use the diff to balance the power from the two L motors to the central axle - then it would not be a centre diff but you would ahave a diff in the centre....

Does it have a diff lock?

[efferman]

no, only a good contact to the surface

Here is a picture of the latest revision of the chassis. This is my first time adding a picture. It's a little difficult to reduce the size of the pic on a tablet
