I must admit I still don't quiet get how this will perform as a diff.
As I see it the left outdrive will have the RPM of the motor, while the right outdrive can go faster (in a turn to the left) or slower (in a turn to the right).
Sofar all good, but driving a straight line will get difficult unless the diff is set tight enough for the right wheel to keep the same RPM.
Could be my lack of insight on how the out-runner motor functions.
I do much admire your very good finish of those mechanical parts.
