That's just a gear reduction mechanism. Inside a wheel. :mind=blown:

now...is there a reason that in that video they put it on the rear wheels of a FWD car? How does it add HP if installed on the unpowered wheels? I didn't notice them being installed on the front wheels.

cuz it provides power lol, motor driven.
What happens when you hit a rim shattering pothole?
I'm guessing a straight swap with another kit is the best option, but I'm sure in some cases only a handful of things might need to be replaced. The original install is apparently something you can do in under 2hrs.
oh, I didn't realize they had their own motors, lol. But so...again, installing on a FWD car that doesn't have any kind of switching AWD system (like what Audi does), I assume you need some additional transmission work so that the car now "knows" that it's kinda/sorta AWD, at times?
the first video shows the motor mounted on car.
Uh, they are independently controlled electric motors - so no transmission coupling.oh, I didn't realize they had their own motors, lol.

It has it's own controller and gets info from the car's ABS system, most likely. Think of it as a one-way integration. OBD puts out ABS info if needed.
Sounds good. I imagine it probably is simpler than I think it needs to be, but I'm a dummy.
You are not a dummy. We can talk genetic engineering later so you can kick my ass.Sounds good. I imagine it probably is simpler than I think it needs to be, but I'm a dummy.
