not syre if this will help but :-
not an s-can , but Team Slot do a 4wd motor
Ref: TM-51004
Team Slot Motor TS5 4xPower.
and Avant do a long can 4wd motor
Ref: AS20107
Avant Slot Long Can Motor Hunter 4WD 25.000 rpm
I'm pretty sure Scaleauto did a 'sprinter 2' long can as a direct replacement for the SCX 4wd motor
also i recall reading somewhere that the front wheels should be geared to turn a little faster than the rears ( or is it the other way round )
but i have been known to be very wrong , very often hehehehe
good luck and have fun with your project , don't forget to keep us posted with your progress bud

Hi kevan what i want to do is fix a driveshaft from motor then to a drive shaft inline with front axle . Front shaft with pinions each end & spur gears on axle so " shaft drive 4x4". This way i can use AW pod or inline both 4WD. I cant find it done before so ive aplied for patent not because i hope to gain from it just as its my invention (well maybe lol). I hole to have parts to finish build in next 7-10 days so ill send photos to you straight away. I have lots more plans to try with slotcars too i love modifyng things. So again thankyou mate your replies & advice have realy helped me. Regarfs Bowley.

Sounds like something Andy Rowland has done a few times for special projects.

I seem to remember another divine creation by Andi a few years ago but can't remember what it was, maybe an Alfa Bimotore
