Impressive. More so if it lasted throughout competition. Even more so if that could last in a more modern competition environment.

Like I said before (but re-worded): in my experience the output shaft is the transmission's weak link. If we could snap an output shaft made of hardened high-grade steel with two (6V) FP motors I can only imagine on how easy it would be with four CIMs and two 775s.
