If you want, I can post some 3D renders of the "basic" 4wd system I've designed for next year (well, it's one of the designs) anyway, I wouldn't mind posting them up, if you'd like. They use the CIMs on a chain and sprocket system with sprocket reduction. It's a pretty basic design, I guess. The frame is built out of 1" extruded aluminum tubing, and just has some angle cutouts bolted to it at the corners. There are 12 flanged bearings (with set screws ::whew:: ) that support the axles, and bolt the frame together. NOTE: just so you don't get too confused, cause I had a few people flip over the design thinking it wouldn't drive, the wheels aren't locked to the axles. They come with internal ball bearings so they can coast on the axles. This system proved to work great last year, and since we've built it once (sort of) we think we can build it...in a day! Well, we hope. This newer system I designed focuses little on modifying parts, but more on connecting the proper parts. It's also designed to require basic tools to build. I guess I'll post a Whitepaper containing pics and an explanation of it for ya.

I've posted a hoard of pics and information on my coaxal multi-drive design. Just do a search for MultiDrive and it should pop up with some stuff.
