Diffrunner concept - 02.21.2010, 08:43 PM

To bring back my old idea on the integrated-inline-differential-motor package concept (IDM?).

I am not sure who remembers this from the fall, but here is a sketch of what I mean. It would improve efficiency of the powertrain (theoretically), and would allow more space on either side of the chassis for things like batteries, while pushing everything towards the center line of the chassis, thus improving handling characteristics.
