Now, which of those options go into a "straight up" 6WD?
The classic WCD is a live axle, drop center, cantilever, direct drive/chain combination, shifting drivetrain. Different teams have different tweaks to that drivetrain. |
The same as WCD except that it is not cantilevered and the outer axles are dead (like 1114 does).
