There's the CV-joint

The video shows how their gears go up down and side to side to perform the function of a cv joint. So whatever that cv looking thing is, it's not a cv joint.

If it was just a solid axle going from the motor to the uniwheel you couldn't steer the car. It doesn't allow for such movement.

Looks like it eliminates the engine-side cvd but not the wheel-side.

Can't really do that, u-joints and cv's work in pairs to balance the angular change

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

There is no angular change between the axle shaft and the engine.
