Re: Question About 4-Wheel Drive
Thanks for all the input guys! I'm taking from this that inline is the best way to do things. However, this again poses a slight problem to me.
I should have mentioned that I won't be using those narrow wheels from the kit too.  I'm going to be using something closer to 8" diameter, 2" wide pneumatic wheels. That is why I was having a rough time working with the two 21 tooth sprockets on the output shaft of the kit tranny. Their spacing doesn't quite allow for such a simple solution.

I suppose that the best way to solve this problem may be a simple use of spacing on the wheel shafts, leaving the sprockets at different positions on the shafts, but the wheels inline. I'll probably use keyed wheel shafts to make things a little easier.
