Of course coupling traction power to the wheels would be a bit more dificultCouldn't this be accomplished by coupling a motor oriented perpendicular to the truck to a differential? After all, that's how rear-wheel drive works... I believe that rubber-wheeled trucks have separate axles for each wheel, since the friction coefficient between rubber and steel is much greater, and the wheels' taper is nonexistent. |
