Re: Using two CIMs in the Banebots Transmission
Okay, so say you've got 5" wheels perfect size to direct drive. 6 of them, 3 per side. What do you do? Buy the double motor kit, direct drive the centers with a single planetary and run chains out to the corners is the most logical thing. But only if "it'll hold." I mean, 4 planetaries with 6 wheels? It's not clean. So, will they hold up with two CIMs in there? Joe Johnson have any input?
