I believe that I am going to try to use the same type of setup for our drivetran again using the drill motors and the bosch gearbox. Now that I know about the left handed screw that solves 75% of our drivetran problems. I am going to custom fabricate our motor mounts tough, and instead of running the wheels straight from the gearbox, I plan on mount the wheel with pillowblocks and then using a chain drive. I believe doing this way will solve the problum of the breaking of the motor mounts when the driveshaft gets bound up. This setup will also reduce the stress on the motor and gears by taking the force of the wheels off of them. If any one has anay suggestions on how to do this , or if anyone sees any major flaw with this please tell me.
