Not just spur though; layshaft, pulleys, slipper, bearings etc..

sounds innovative
I was thinking that G, and if you think about it the motor will be 2/3 of the way forward like the losi xx4, so when it accellerates wont it try to make the front end light without really transferring any weight to the rear because its so far forward.??? Someone correct me if im wrong |

Bit like my ProCat?
Ok James. How many belt cars have the belts turning in the opposite direction of the wheels? Just playing devils advocate G

I'm glad i'm not the only one that found this a bit strange.... even if you think back to all the Schumacher 4wd's over the years???

not on most cars too.
I think its only the 4-gear 2WD cars that have the spur running the other way to the wheels. anyway, its nit-picking, im sure it will be a good design, I am very keen to see it. |

Trust me it definately rotates the other way round.

I'm missing something
Somethings wrong in the world when Carl posts the most sensible and reasoned post. I think the must have been refering to the common shaft layout with the motor mounted long ways. |

I could but for the fun of it I won`t.
But think of that internal ratio. Cruise. P.S. thats almost the fun as knowing about the Asso 4WD for years and reading the roumors about it. |

Cruise,
When looking at a motor from the shaft end the shaft rotates anti-clockwise which in turn makes the spur rotate clockwise the belt has to rotate the same way as the spurgear and layshaft. One thing i was thinking is if schuey were to mount the motor on the right of the car to make the motor rotate forwards and run an idler gear between the pinion and spur but i dont see what benefit this would give apart from having the spur and motor turning in the same direction |
