Why?? (and offcourse, I have done no research on this...)
Probably because of the strength on stiff axels?

Then I'm going to make a Pickup with tipper, crane and independent
suspension and so on... ;)
I did not say I was going to build a scale model of anything. Just building
for the fun of it and the challange to manage to fit all that technics into
one small vehicle.
If you going to build a scale model of any vehicle it will be big since the
diffrential is so big. Thats why I have decided to not put the diffrential
between the wheels but with some gear-transmission out of the center and put
it where it fits better. You probably loose some power along the way. But I
have to live with that...
And at last I'm going to fit the RCX in there some place...I think...
