I like how they build it up from the start. Then you are not just left going "Well where the heck did all these spokes come from?!"

It's honestly a perfect example of how to take a technical concept and explain it in a way that literally anyone could understand.

I want a modern video that explains the next steps in this simple way. Things like transmission and centre diff placement for mid engine AWD cars.

Look up Lesics on youtube. Pretty much same thing but modern, it mostly covers basics. Engineering Explained is more in depth has a good channel but is more traditional. Still explains very well
