Re: Gearbox AFTER Transmission?

It's certainly possible (no different than adding another stage), but be careful what gearbox you put at the output of your shifter. The AM Planetary is designed to be used with a single 9015 motor at very high speeds and low torques (up 0.4 Nm to at stall) at the input. By comparison, two CIMs through a 10:1 reduction would give up to 48 Nm at the input to the AM Planetary (that's 100 times more ). I don't know how the AM Planetary in particular is rated, but usually gearboxes exploding is a bad thing.
