Drill motor and FP combo
Seems like a lot of people have used the drill motor and FP motor combo. We used it last year and had no problems. We went to 2 regionals, Nationals, 4 post season tournaments and many demos, ie lots of use. I think replaced only one FP. We use the FP on the back of the drill motor but not in line. We use a 12 tooth gear on the drill and a 16 tooth on the FP. Since the tail end of the drill motor shaft is very short and the shafts are so small in diameter it requires EB welding. Also need to make a motor housing that hold both motors parallel and at the proper center distance (we can adjust the center distance). Since both motors are on the input side of the drill gearbox even if one burns out torgue to just turn a motor is nothing so you can atleast still move. We had good speed and lots of power. In practices we could easily pull a loaded stretcher and push loaded load over the bridge at the same time. 2002, a drill motor/chalupa combo?
