Oh hey this thread is still here good. I had an idea for my solution to the sloppy drill problem. I'm gonna try this whether or not you guys like it  but I'd like an opinion. Also, much thanks to Andy Baker for this idea (in other words, if it blows up and hurts someone blame him!  ) Anyway, since the drills have the power I need to move this thing and the FP are tight enough for the balance I was thinking about joining them. Basically both motors with a sprocket on an output shaft leading to a loose shaft for lack of better words. Chains link them and I think I can play around with the ratios to get the RPM close enough. If it works then I will have a sprocket take the output and chain it to the wheels. The idea is basically the FP will keep you steady with the Bosch throwing in horsepower so you wont be crawling. Any comments? and keep in mind even if this is a doomed failure I'm still trying, I'm stubbornly optimistic plus I need an excuse to get myself to learn ratios and the like.
