Drankin, I have a couple questions about the current schematic. One, the high speed circuit sounded like a great idea, but I'm wondering if it is necessary? The motors can only take 25gpm max, so diverting all the flow will just overspeed the motors anyway right? Can you think of a reason to keep it? Other than doing donuts, I can't think of any reason to have just 2 wheel drive anyway.
2nd question. I realized that in the text you have reverse function listed in the manifold. What does this mean. I thought we would be reversing the pumps swash plate and simply reversing the flow?
With this in mind, could we use the rotary flow divider as you have it, then just have a small solenoid valve to go between the two front motors, and one between the two rear motors? Seems like this would give us selectable lock on the rear, and a selectable lock on the front. With low flow going between the two motors, wouldn't this give us a limited slip effect without generating to much heat since it is just a lower flow balacing effect?
Let me know what you think.
