Ever heard of a center diff?

All it requires is a a friction plate, and a servo*.

You just have the motor running a central spur, as with the MA010. You then have a friction plate floating on the axel, and use the servo to engage and disegate it. It works like the clutch on a car. Not that hard. You just need to make the process of sliding it around smooth, or the car will slow down alot...

What I recomend you do, is just figure out a way to use a center diff, and then loosen it (Center Ball Diff) alot. That way the front and rear get varying speeds, lock it down, and it get's closer to full time AWD....

*It doesn't necessarily need to be a servo. Pnumatics or Hydrolic cylinder, Magnets, just something for laderal force..
I thought about doing it in a project car, but nah...

on a gen 1 it would be pretty easy.

you would cut the shaft in half then make some kind of small locking mechanism that when you reversed the motor for a second, then went forward, the mechanis would lock the to shaft halves together an viola!! you just switched from rwd to awd. but the downside would be you could'nt go from awd to rwd. lemme try to draw a pic to show you guys what i mean
