We loved the new drill motors this year. Though, it would have been nice if they were easier to mount - like the CIMs. We made a single stage planetary gearbox that matched the drill motors to the CIM's no-load speed and copied the CIM's mounting holes. This let us use the same spur gearboxes for our drills that we used for our CIMs (we used four motors to drive six wheels - ten wheels if you count dualies individually).

Here's an exploded view of the planetary stage and motor housing. The housing also has a cutout and mounting holes for a muffin fan, which is not shown.
