Re: Strange Swerve 4.0 Triple Strange 1533

Very cool! There's so many things I love about this module!
1. Waterjet everything!
2. lightweight!
3. Compact!
4. Double custom ball bearing!
5. Versawheels!
6. Low profile!

Very good job, and I hope I can see it in action next year.
How is the single reduction VP + 100 tooth gear working out? It looks like you're running something close to 10:1 x 100:36, which ends up around 576 rpm, which is very fast for a swerve module. I would change to a 2-stage VP, but that's about the only way I could see this die. The 100 tooth custom gear seems like extra work when you could use an 84t gear instead, but you seem to have good use of the extra space.

The only thing I can see bad about this in the long run is that it might be difficult to integrate a CIM into it, unless you weld a 3/8" hex onto the output shaft for the bevel gear.
I would love to see the CAD for this, if you're willing to part with it.
