Direct Drive

[lincpimp]

It will effectively lock the front and rear diffs together, so power split will be equal. Steering will suffer (thats why we have center diffs, to allow the front and rear diffs to rate at different speeds as the 4 wheels go thru their various arcs in a corner).

I think people have done truggies, no different to a buggy, as far as layout goes. I would like to see some sort of slipper clutch on the shafts that connect the the outrunner to the diffs.
