Re: pic: 1097 Direct Drive 01
The OD of the U-Joints were turned down to within .005" of the ID of the steel shaft. We then put set screws all the way through and have had no problems with them. Eventhough, we are still going to replace all 42 set-screws on thursday at SVR.
As for the gearbox, it is about the same ratio as the kit gearbox, but we couldn't use the kit gearbox due to the way we had to lay it out. As you can see, we needed the driveshaft to go straight through the gearbox and the kit version wouldn't allow for this. We therefore also had to put the CIMs across from eachother. This is useful in that neither side will be more powerful since in either direction, you have one motor running forward and one running backward.
