yep, its got an elec motor modded in to turn the diff or spur the opposite direction to get rvs motion. notice how the motor is idle when its reversing. the clutch isnt engauged allowing the drive train free motion.
Brice Arnold did this with one of his bajas. the work and added weight were a big ?if? in his process. he said while its Cool, its just not anything more than a one off idea.

While it might of been a one off idea,its still a good idea........just think how many times while racing that would get you out the poo :cool2::cool2::cool2::cool2::cool2::cool2::cool2:

Yes but running to get your 12lb monster out of trouble is half the fun. Well maybe for us bashers anyway.

 

[Timmahh]

12 lb? heh, that one of the only downsides to these big ass rcs. they re heavy as hell.

What do u guys think about this?? Who makes it?

 

[tizdaz]

looks...complicated! lol

 

[atom3624]

Great Idea !!
If it works reliably, it's fantastic.
I changed the standard one way gearbox in my Raminator for a LST2 F/R H/L (High/Low) gearbox, for that reason, for a bit of fun.

As somebody said 'Looks Complicated' !!!

Al.

 

[pipeous]

reverse isn't allowed in racing anyway. neat idea but not for me

Damn this is an old thread you dug up!

Looks pretty simple actually. Just an added counter gear. Thought provoking... Hmmm.
