Yes, this worked. Thanks.
Your approach is certainly very interesting! Honestly, I didn't know
what a DeDion axle was, but I do now. :-)
The design is probably very efficient and low frictiony, like you say.
And keeping the differential fixed makes the rest of the design easier
and less cluttered.
But isn't the geometry somewhat wrong? I mean, if one of the shock
absorbers are depressed, the corresponding ball link connector is going
to be angled upwards, pulling the axle forwards. This will mean that
the connection to the shock absorber becomes skew, putting some stress
on the peg connectors. But this effect is probably quite minor.
My approach is different. What I'm making is more of a true live axle,
with the differential located inside the axle. This design requires a
lot of space in the rear quaters of the vehicle, and is difficult to
incorporate. But I enjoy the challenge!
