2.2 Clod
Built this to test out a switched rear motor; 3rd channel on radio controls servo to turn a microswitch on and off.
Turned off, the motor acts as brake for the rear axle in a similar way to a dig gearbox on a shaft-drive truck
Rear axle needs a little more weight in the wheels, but on low-grip surface it works fine as it is.
Both axles are facing 'forwards' so fitting faster or timed motors is no problem as they both run in the same direction
