Re: pic: Experimental Octocanum/Butterfly Design

Why have the ball differential at all?

I can't see a mode where you'd ever have the left side not all at the same speed (as you appear to drop front/rear modules at the same time).

That differential adds complexity, and is actually really difficult to tune properly.

A few of my rc race cars run ball diffs and it's very much a feelings game.
