Re: High torque that can be purchased.
Team 1598 is using two toughbox transmissions mated together. They are edge to edge using aluminum angle to hold them together making them one unit. We made a custom input shaft for the second one that is 1/2" hex milled to 3/8" hex that fits the 14 tooth small cluster gear from andymark. We drive from 1 to 2 with a chain ( allows easy ratio change with sprocket change ). We are 2:1 chain driving ours because of design, but could direct drive also. It is driven with one cim, and works great with no counter balance.
