Re: Differential?

but riding lawn mowers usually have differentials.....

Is it really necessary? what happens if you just drive both rear wheels with separate motors, with the same pwm signal to the speed controllers for each, won't there be enough "give" to let you go around corners ok? I am guessing there would be, based on our experience with 2WD/omni in 2006.
