Default How much power is put to each prop? MT75 4x4

Hi all

Does anyone know how the percentage of torque/power is put to the front + rear prop such as 60/40, 50/50?

cheers
James

so your building a mid engined car with an mt75? there was a thread on here not long back about the gbox options for an rs200 replica.
it has been done before, but gives the car weird characteristics.
have a read of this

Yes, rear engine onto an mt75 4x4, frt prop to rear diff + rear prop to front diff + turn both diffs upside down due to the props spinning oposite way ino the diffs as engine in back

66 front 34 rear would mean 66% is going to the front wheels which is oposit to what i need, best search for a way to locking centre diff or a changing the percentages, ive got a feeling its not going to be easy though

Doesnt seem like theres any other gearboxoption though
