Re: pic: 2004 drive 930

wait! i thought the CIM motors and the drill motors ran at different speeds, 20000rpm free for the drills and 5500rpm free for the CIMs.
i'm guessing thats a drill transmission on the CIM. even with the drill in low and the CIM in high, there would be a 5500/20(20:1planetary reduction in highgear)=275rpm out put. and 300rpm in low gear for the drill......
wait........ 25rpm (theoretical) difference.... and theres a clutch so you cant kill the motors.
heeeey, thats a really good idea. little late for giving us an idea for the drive train now! reeeeaally helpful...(no) well, not that we have our drive train done yet but.....
but, very interesting. i like it!
