TORQUE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TORQUE DISTRIBUTION IN MODEL RACING CARS

摘要

A torque distribution system for a model racing car includes a front pair of wheels, a front axle, a front differential coupled to the front axle, a rear pair of wheels, a rear axle, a rear differential coupled to the rear axle, a center differential a front driveline coupling the center differential and the front differential, a rear driveline coupling the center differential and the rear differential, and a motor coupled to the center differential. The motor and center differential are mounted in the car at an angular orientation with respect to the centerline. The front and rear drivelines are angularly oriented at different angular orientations. The differing angular orientations of the front and rear drivelines are characterized by corresponding differing amounts of friction, resistance or efficiency of the front and rear drivelines to transmission of torque.

1. A torque distribution system for a model racing car comprising:
a front pair of wheels; a front axle coupled to the front pair of wheels; a front differential coupled to the front axle; a rear pair of wheels; a rear axle coupled to the rear pair of wheels; a rear differential coupled to the rear axle; a center differential; a front driveline coupling the center differential and the front differential; a rear driveline coupling the center differential and the rear differential; and a motor coupled to the center differential; where the model racing car has a centerline, where the motor and center differential are mounted in the model racing car at an angular orientation with respect to the centerline, and where the front and rear drivelines are angularly oriented with respect to the centerline at different angular orientations, the differing angular orientations of the front and rear drivelines with respect to the centerline characterized by corresponding differing amounts of friction, resistance or efficiency of the front and rear drivelines to transmission of torque through the front and rear drivelines to the front and rear differentials respectively and thence to the front and rear wheels respectively.
