Direct Drive Four Motor System
I am looking at possible drive trains for next season. One thought I had was to run each CIM motor directly into each wheel (after running through a transmission). With a 12.75 reduction, you get about 9 ft/s with 6" wheels.

If you're having problems visualizing, think crab drive system without the wheel assemblies rotating and the motors running the same direction the wheels are turning (sorry I can't explain it more).

Does anybody have any experience with this type of drive? What were your problems?

Thanks!
