Chain diff
I have been looking into making a chain diff.
Sorry for the numpty question.
Is it only rear wheel drive cars that you can convert to chain driven differentials?

No... if you wanted to put a bike engine in the front of a front wheel drive car... you could, I am sure, figure out a way of making a chain drive dif
to suit!

Concept will be same for driving either end, just be aware of too short a chain run, they tend to overheat if too short

This will go on my new scaled down version of a 7ensque.
It will be run on a starter motor and latter on i am thinking of a 80cc bike engine.
Does anyone know what is the smallest diff i can find to convert?

How small will it be? going on the engine size 80cc sounds like a kids toy in that case I would drive it same as a go kart no need for a diff at
all
Cheers

I had a go kart porker when i was 10 and it was 1 wheel drive so no need for a diff

I was looking into going IRS for it.
Probably with Renault Diff and Renault 21 short driveshafts.
Go karts or quads is another option but not wide enough for my plans.
