Re: need some ideas !!!!!
I also thought about mounting my engine like that and using a differential. But would that provide enough gear reduction for the final drive? I calculate you'd need something like 1:5.8 reduction (with my engine, anyway) in order for it to be reasonable. Unless you use the differential from a huge truck...even then, I've never heard of a ratio that steep. If there were such a differential, it would be far too heavy anyway. And it would be on a solid axle, not used for an a-arm setup. That's my take on it...
What is the best/simplest way to get power to the wheels?
