Dont slate me for this idea, but I am a bit of a greeny and like anyone I want to save the environment and save energy !!!
I hope to take my ferret 02CC12 to several events (Its been invited to an RTR reunion) and some of these event may be reasonably long distance .
How this for an idea, Could I remove the front driveshafts and run it in 2WD (rear wheel) mode !! Ok dont shout at me too loudly !!
I would not attempt this on any off road " duties" - but as an idea, my simple (very simple) mind is seeing reduced tyrewear (due to less potential front / rear transmission windup) , slightly reduced weight (OK - thats a longshot...) and maybe less petrol consumption.
It wouldn't affect the look of things. Look at it as a MFWC (Manual Free Wheel Conversion....):laugh:
Has this statement reduced my already tiny credibility on this forum to a negative figure ! (and my rank to private - toilet cleaner !!)
PS - DONT EVER RUN ANY VEHICLE WITH PROP GUARDS REMOVED - THE RESULTS CAN BE FATAL.
