Re: How do you shift??
Hmmmmmm.... thats very unfortunate.... Out of curiosity, why are they illegal? I guess I'll have to look at the servo idea.... Of course, another question, do you really need alot of force to hold a dog gear in place? If it is a low force application, which I am pretty sure it is (if you're hit hard enough, you may stall the motors.... which is next to impossible with CIMs... from what i understand..... but the force on the dog gear is perpendicular to the motion of the shifting mechanism... so not much force can be applied) I can easily shift the dog gear with a servo..... Although I easily solved the problem, your suggestion of a servo made me think, so thank you. But i am interested in what other things people will say. Thank you, again. Time to update some CAD drawings.......
