Matt,
It's a beauty. Too bad you're not going to use it.

We're in a similar boat, having designed and built a full 6-motor, techno-knockoff drive this fall. Like you, we decided it would be better to have a powerful design if we need it, and maybe "tone it down" a little, than be in need and have to start from scratch.

Obviously, we don't have a need for THAT much output power in this game (*gasp* Did I just say that?), and we're deciding what functionality to "cut" for our 2004 system. So many numbers to plug, so little time!

I am curious how the servo handles shifting. Any troubles with it? Any regrets?

Tough luck missing out on 2004. Hope you'll be back in ohh-five.

John
