Re: Nano Tube -- Anyone else having trouble?

If you mount the motors at the corners (look at the post by Taylor with 1529's chassis) then you always have power available around the robot. The nano tubes are set up for a CIM mount directly into the geartrain.

This won't work if you are wanting a 2 speed set up, but is very strong and quick with this arrangement.
