Re: Custom "Car Style" Drive System

It seems like you may want to actually remove the bearing on the idler bevel, right now you have a fully open differential. If you replaced it with a bushing of higher friction (or even better, some sort of clutch setup), you could easily integrate a limited slip differential for better performance.

I would assume a sprocket or gear will be fastened to the face of the housing.
