Back in 1932, Chevrolet had these short motion pictures describing various key points in their mechanicl designs. Recently, out of boredom, I started watching these on youtube (very informative, and pretty interesting actually. 10 out of 10, would watch again). One of these clips featured the open differential and the basic design for it. they used two of their wheels on two different axles, and a spare arm on a loose bearing, similar to the one I built. Anyways, the rest of the video describes why it's so important to have an open differential.
Controls: Throttle to spin assembly (less than 10% is optimal). Use VTOL to brake on one side.
