Hi all

Do any of you pilot pedal cars that have a fix 2WD rear axle ?

As opposed to 2WD that uses some form of differential ?

Are there any draw backs ?

I’ll share this to the Pedal Car Facebook group… I’m sure someone will be along in a bit…

Paul, I imagine the draw backs are the same as for a car with a welded diff'. Poor tight cornering ability (wants to go straight on), wheel scrub/ tyre wear and tendency to shear drive shafts. Great for drifting though if you have enough power!
