axle differential

I have a suggestion: since now wheeled vehicles are not particularly developed and are not a very common type of vehicle in the game, I would like to support this area. for example, to begin with, you can change the operation of the wheels by adding one or two blocks. namely the differential. I do not ask for the full implementation of the transmission of torque from possible El engines and internal combustion engines through cardan shafts, and so on. but I simply propose to create 1x1x1 and 2x2x2 / 1 (for 1x1, 3x3 one differential, for 5x5 another) variants of active differentials, for possible axles at the wheels. because now there is such a problem when you have a bunch of wheels that you have unscrewed at full power and grip, but still this is not enough, because each wheel is spinning from its own engine while not connected to the others. and if you add a differential between the "suspensions", then both "engines" inside each of the suspensions on the axle will transfer their power to the other suspension, if one is in contact with the ground, and the other is not. I can even give an example of the recently announced Tesla track, which uses the same EL engines but paired on one axle. thus, if one wheel has less grip, or even spins freely, then the differential will come into play, which will transfer all the torque to the wheel with more grip, thereby theoretically doubling the patency of this particular axle. again, it would be possible to mess around and do a full transfer of torque from the engines to the wheels, but I think it can wait, because you probably have so much work right now. so thank you for your attention, and I hope you can do it.

hello

i think this sort of modular vehicle building was at some point a consideration for the devs, and that was one reason we got the hydrogen engine (especially the way it looks). i mean i think it is possible that the hydrogen engine was planned to be an actual engine that would possibly increase the torque of the wheel suspensions present on the grid, so maybe there was an axle differential planned too, not only that but today there are exhaust, and heat vent blocks too, and those are also possibly the result of the consideration of modular wheeled vehicle building too. i am not sure though.

if i am any right with my assumptions, then that will mean unfortunately that the devs have given up to implement it already, and will likely not attempt to again

i would like to support not only an axle differential, but the modular nature of wheeled vehicle building too - such as for example by building more engine blocks, more torque is achievable to the wheel suspensions present on the grid, and so on with other parts
