if i remember correctly each module weighs in at about 10lbs (9.4 if i remember exactly)...and that is with with everything, to include the CIM, IFI wheel, and the transmission with the shifting servo. btw, it is 3 speed
We did plan on using the bevel gears and stand our transmissions up vertically, but if I remember correctly RogerR said he calculated that the module will just spin before the wheels were able to break traction in a pushing match so we would just have the modules just spinning as we got pushed. I do not know with different gearing whether it would work or not, but the one we had design and almost made would have reacted that way according to him.

I will show you it is not in a standard 4 module configuration on thursday when I post a full drive train picture, like George said:

so you will see tomorrow once it is out of the box and everyone can see at UCF that is not standard, and the teacher sponsor won't kill me (from what I was told he approved this)
