Re: Polycarbonate side plates for lighter gearboxes
I for one would reccomend against this. In 2008, we tried polycarb side plates for our drive gearboxes. The plastic insulated the motors, and caused significant overheating problems. In 2010, we tried using the plastic toughbox plates. Same thing.
In my experience, plastic plates are a bad idea. Anyway, as mentioned above, there are other ways to save more weight more easily.
