Making a Scooby RWD
How would you go about making a Scoob rear wheel drive?
If I simply took the front drive shafts out would the front diff just spin and if not could the rear diff and shafts handle the power?
Thinking of building a drift car after seeing round one of the OPT Drift club today, looks like awsome fun

200hp between 4wd is 50hp per wheel, 100hp per axis.
If u disconnect front shafts, the rear diff and driveshaft must handle twice the power they were made for....so make your maths and light some candles to Saint Bang, because you'll get a call from him soon.

Ignoring this problem though how would I stop the front diff from spinning? I assume I could just weld up the gears in the center diff but was hoping of something a little less permanant or better still switchable.

I've been into most forms of motorsport at some time or another but this tops the all. seeing these go round one at a time was amazing enough but when the finalists raced in pairs it was just mind blowing.
I gotta do something as there wasn't a single scoob out there and I know they'd have the chassis for it.

Give Kiki at Option motorsport (one of the guy's who runs opt drifting)01327 858555, i spoke to him about 2 years ago about a kit that does just what you want, not sure of the cost though.

Thanks Buck that is exactly what i wanted.
Think I'll modify a spare diff just as a trial and see how it goes. Will turn down the boost aswell to keep things from breaking.
