Re: pic: Experimental VP drive gearbox
Are you sure that the VP will hold up with 2 CIMs powering it?

The load ratings sheet for VPs shows very different charts for a 775 motor and a CIM motor, let alone 2. While this design may hold up okay for a 775pro or 2, I think this may put the VP out of spec with 2 CIM motors driving it.

I would be pretty cautious about 1 CIM going into a VP, let alone 2. Especially in a dynamic loading situation like a drivetrain.


Edit:

What transfers power from the initial gear reduction into the VP?
