You could mount a center diff to the input. But it would be silly to do that, you'd be taking the advantages of a clod, and be making a really heavy shafty with TONS of parts to break. Clods have the weight down low because of the motors, if you put a tranny and motors up there, you're ruining it. Not to mention it would be so much work that it would just be silly. And whatever reasons you like your clod would be ruined when you made it a shafty. It would just be a narrow, heavy shafty, with no ground clearance. Lay off the pipe  |

I'm not sure exactly what you are talking about Bigbad, but roktoy turned out a really cool piece a while back... Go Here for the pics! I think this would be the perfect beginning of "dropped" axles for better diff clearance... |

| Re: Clod Axles 2 Shaft Drive?     Beautiful work here. I believe he was contemplating a shafty rig with this as the center trans. With the clod trans you could get some pretty low gearing without too much extra hardware... |

...I don't think it would be quite that easy.... I believe it would require 2 bearings on each side to keep the axle from wobbling. If you only have 1 per side then I'll bet your gears would get crunched... Easy way to test would be to remove your knuckles and the outer bearing and spin it with some side-to-side torque to see if you hear bad things inside the case...

Dude, what Roktoy built and what whitey are talking about are 2 different things. The pictured clod contraption that Roktoy built is a TRANSMISSION. Not an axle. It's like a emaxx transmission, but built from a clod gearbox. You would still need front and rear axles/differentials. What whitey wants to do is convert a stock clod axle to accept a drive shaft from a regular transmission instead of the axle mounted motor. |
