[@TomleyRC]

This things nuts haha. I've built dual motor RC Cars before, and if you have independent motors driving front and rear axles, the front always spins up more. When you accelerate you get less load on the front axle, so the motor is able to get higher RPM's than the rear. Even when you use separate speed controllers. For the same throttle input, the front can spin faster with less load.

[@joey_f4ke238]

Having different diff setups is deffinitely not helping either, even if both controllers are set up the same it looks like the front has a shorter ratio or something since it was skipping forward even when crawling as if the rear was dragging it down

definitely needs that cage for some proper chassis rigidity and refining of some of the electronics. also some better tires. but for what it is right now its super cool. frankly some improvements in the future to make it truly last like proper torque specs in the differentials and other future proofing would be cool. this build and all the work you put into it definitely deserves some permanence in the grindhard vehicle family. once everythings said and done and you've made the improvements stated at the end of the video, this thing will be up there with the kernel and it would be a shame to let it fall into disrepair and become a parts vehicle like the other wacky projects that are forgotten about. tragedies like sendy and the odyssey for example.

Some suggestions for the boys: 1. Try and achieve a 60-40 power split (Rear bias, if even possible) 2. Fix those sketchy-ass brakes 3. Put even bigger, chunkier tires 4. Soften the front suspension a little 5. Under-tray, or at least a front shield 6. Stick a winch to the front 7. mount the generator inside, and not on top (to keep the center of weight as low as possible.)

[@EdibleOutdoors]

Having the front axle over-driven or over-torqued might be advantageous. I know it is done with RC Crawlers. I also like how you can switch it to 2WD to conserve the battery. Very Clever.
