Re: pic: Bag of DeWalts
I'm puzzled too Wayne. We (SPAM) used NBD's for our drivetrain the last 2 years, never had a problem with them, plenty of speed and torque, definitely the fastest we've ever assembled our chassis and drive train since they were so simple to put together. Cumbersome? Find me a more compact 3 speed shifting gearbox, simple to build, simple to mount, simple to changeout.

And robust - SPAM has a bag like that also; 2 years times 4 spares that we never needed and can't use again since they were built in a previous year (just the gearboxes - the motors are OK to use).
