Re: Using dual motors in Chain-Drivesystem

Thnx a lot guys, now i know a lot more about how to connect these motors, yea i heard about that forward and backward difference(forward being more powerfull or something) how important is it to flip them?.

Mike Norton, that link was helpful, though that chain and sprockets looked pretty lighter than what we used last year, is it 25 mm chain..and if yes did you had any problems with it. Because we went with 35 mm last year, had no problems but was very heavy.

Also Mr.John Vielkind-Neun helped me a lot,and even went as far as drawing a sample sketch for the ratios that we need. So a a special thanks to him on behalf of my team. I am posting the link just for any other teams who want to learn about the same topic as us. Also in white papers John has an excel sheet that can do all the math for gearboxed or drivetrains for you guys.

You can see what John did, by viewing the attached thumbnail.

Thanks to all again.
