Bearings would be nice only they add a lot of friction. I doupt they would be half as fast with bearings.
If I made it like the digi where there was no solid axle and put a motor on each wheel then it would have steering problems. The digi slows one motor down when you use the steering trim to take care of that problem. If one sides gear was a little dirty or if one motor was just a little faster (as we all know the consistency of motors sucks) then it would pull one way and there’s nothing I could do about it.
A motor facing the othe way on a ger on the other side would not pose a steering problem if there was a solid axle so the rear tires would have to spin the same speed but then one motor would be spinning backward and the other forward. Not a problem for Digi, again, but will be for bit. Here’s why. Take your digi and remove the rear axle and gear. Now listen carefully while giving forward throttle, then change to backward. Sounds like different tones hu? Probably because of the brush alignment. For whatever reason, they run differently forward then backward. That, to me means that one motor will be pulling the other along. That’s why I’m going to make the motors both turning the same way and turning the same gear.
Again, this is just my theory.
