Re: Differential?

A diff is overkill with robots this weight, and a Kart diff is not only heavy, but its also HUGE. I'm building a 2WD Radio Flyer with one of my friends, and we were shocked by the price (about $185) of one that wouldn't snap under any type of real tenion. This would not lose weight over dual CIMs. It would gain some.
