Not ONE motor, one gearbox. Many motors potentialy. It is all in the application.

I like the ideas....but....
I see this whole venture of one power source to complicated and heavy to deal with. There are many other options.

Also,
I have only ever "peeled out" or skidded wheels on carpet once with a bot. It was a basic bottom chasis and had 6" wheels and a prototype 3 speed on the fly tranny. The wheels are the ones from the kit, Skyways I think. I flew around in 3 and slammed into 1. SKIDDDDDDDDD. And I started in 3, full stick. SKIDDDDDDDD, ZOOM. If the proper wheels are in the application, there can never be too much power. HE HE HE.


Ching Ching, thats my 2. On a lot of stuff.
