Hi, Has anybody else noticed that the new style Technic differential housings (p/n 6573) have the same mouldings as the 16t clutch gears and could therefore be engaged by a driving ring. Has Lego ever used this feature in a set? Can anyone think of (...) (22 years ago, 1-Aug-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I'm thinking that the most efficient thing is to use one motor for each axle. That will save you the universal joints, and it will also impose less friction on the drive train. The solution isn't that technically interesting, but if efficiency (...) (22 years ago, 1-Aug-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) One suggestion - you might wanna investigate the new CV joints from the 4x4 instead of universals - this may give you more torque & less back-lash through the hinges. May be tricky to mount them though... ROSCO (22 years ago, 1-Aug-02, to lugnet.technic)
