Yeah, its RWD,,, after that 4wd crawler i did i wanted to slow down on the U joints for a while,, they just take so much time to make
drive you nuts after a while.
The springs are pretty much at equilibrium so they arent pushing much on either side to cause friction. There is a little in the hubs but i have two brass bushings that spin (didnt have bearings at the time) and they work quite well to keep it spinning freely.
One problem i found out was i geared it a little too low so its slower than i wanted it to be (for jumping anyways,, its still faster than a stock SE any day.
I think this will end up being a form model for me and i will re work the gearing and the design a bit before i finish it up.
