Re: pic: Lightweight 8 CIM Shifting Swerve Drive Chassis

Quote:
Very nice! Is that weight with all fasteners, etc? Do you have any pictures of the module itself?
It includes everything you see in the picture. I've still been too lazy to find CAD for small snap rings because their weight is negligible, but I think I've got everything else accounted for. I'll post a close up of the module soon.

Looks great, but does it really need two CIMS on each model?
No.

But I it would be nice! In some games, extreme amounts of drive power and maneuverability is desirable enough that a drive train like this would make sense. Although, I'll admit that it's unnecessary in most cases.

Looks awesome, but isn't "lightweight 8-CIM drive" an oxymoron?
Kind of ;D
I guess this calls for the picture to be renamed...
