Will it remove torque twist... an extra gear added to one SCX10 type gearbox output?

As the title says, will having an extra drive gear on one of the outputs(see photo), allowing the two prop shafts to rotate in opposite directions, completely or partially reduce torque twist/body roll under power?

Cheers,
Tom.

I can't speak for that great box but there are other custom setups out there that do greatly reduce your twist, also helps to overdrive the front as well

I received my gearbox a week or so ago and I have installed, tested it and it works perfectly. Also flipped and tapped the rear axle.

I should clarify that it was not an issue of, for instance, one of the front wheels lifting under torque when on a steep climb. I wanted a gearbox with opposing outputs to prevent the 'equal and opposite' reaction of the body rolling in one direction while the drive train was rotating in the other, and this would happen on the flat, when accelerating and low to high speeds.

It worked! The body stays upright and there is no body roll evident at all.

As a side note, I climbed a children's slide (45 degrees?) with no effort whatsoever and zero body roll or lift of any axle.

Very happy.
Tom.

Double post.

And with small modificaion you can have 3 outputs for 6x6 builds.

A project for another day.
