8110 - Unimog - MODs and Improvements

After a few tantrums I have successfully install Marcus53's two motor/gear system with the freewheeling connection. I had to modify the design a tad but am now very happy with the result. I could not make the M motor on the rear diff skip proof, so I put an L motor in the cab using the sprocket and shaft from the steering assembly and hitched that to the Center diff. A servo motor on the front assembly replaces all factory steering. I used slightly different gear ratios to get better speed, I found Marcus' painfully slow. A great result that I'm happy with at the end of the day. Marcus, your a genius! Cheers! Pics to come. -

Alex, Were you able to open Marcus' mpd file? It leads me to a "file not found" error. -

Yes Alex, there is defiantly a piece of the puzzle missing. There must be a break somewhere on the Center axle but I can not figure out where. Additionally, if the mechanism works on friction, would some serious heat not be generated over time? Would this heat not be able to melt/warp plastic parts overtime. Curious. -

Hi Markus, I am really intrigued by your freewheeling mechanism! Could you possibly supply some better photos and description please? I am having trouble getting my head around your design........probably would help if I could see the mechanism clearly. Many thanks!!
