Dynadrive

Dynadrive is the very best of model engineering for the smaller scales - the system is designed around a rather neat clutch device that works in an amazing fashion - enhancing the driving experience.  Modellers who are not interested inclutch mechanisms will be interested to know that the drive bogie kits and other components can be obtained separately as high quality drives for most rtr locomotives, especially in 4mm scale.

A top view of the drive bogie, gear box and the drive shaft.  Universal couplings provide the flexibility to allow the bogie to move.  Note how well everything is made - superb engineering.

A large flywheel stores a lot of energy, this system works hard to over come the problems of dirty track, wheels and the odd intermittent cut in track power.
