some necklaces are very rigid rotationally yet are flexible in all directions...why not use a link from a cheap necklace as a u joint.

that might be exactly what you need! That is such a good idea i might have to do it myself.

that was my first idea but because of the suspension and steering magnet its impossible

Hey, I was reading your thread and I plan on doing a 4wd (2 motor) conversion for my bit as soon as I order my two speed bit. After that I will try it. I'm converting a bit to fit into a skyline muscle machines import tuner body. I have a pretty good idea how to get the front motor to work with the front wheels turning. I think I can make this work. I'll let you'll know my plans as soon as I get then drawn up and make sure it will work. Also, if anyone knows anything about electronics
I would like to know:
How do you wire one battery powering one motor and another battery powering the other motor for when you press forward or reverse they will both go respectively in the same direction?(hope that made sense)
Then after that would they both still charge on a stand alone charger or would only one battery get juice?
Some please let me know because I am trying my idea very soon.

The necklace idea for U-joints would work pretty well if you can find the right "box chains". They ought to be dirt cheap if you get them through the right place. If you cold-solder (lead) a couple joints at each end for connection points, it should work perfectly Anyway, you may still run into problems with turns since there's no diff.

Maddog,
Just wire the entire (dual motor, dual battery) circuit in SERIES, but make sure that your contact points for the motors are wired up so they spin properly for your setup.

Hey all,
I started working on my conversion last night. I almost have the rear motor mounted and ready to go (The easy part). Soon I'm going to start working on the front. I have to build everything from scratch pretty much (insides at least) but one problem came up last night for the rear wheels. They spin, but not as freely as I want them to. I think I'm going to add a "spring suspension" (it not true spring suspension like the front could be, but I am going to use springs) for the wheels so they have enough clearence from the fender wells. What do you'll think?
