Re: Banebot 2 motor adapter
Well, considering the small CIM is 2.5" round, it's going to be at least 2.5" tall. Looking at the pictures it looks like there is no overhang on the height, which is where I got my 2.5" height.

2 motors x 2.5" = 5" wide, plus about 1/2" spacing b/w the motors. Add a little extra room to be conservative for overhang and such, and I came up with about 6.0"

Due to our layout this year, we need to stuff our trannies onto the rear wheels, instead of the middle wheels. While I'm not all that happy about this, it makes the overall packaging much easier and cleaner. Therefore, the width dimension on these adapters become pretty important to me. I tried to fit them vertically, but they'd be scraping the floor...

So, if anyone has already received their adapting plate, an actual dimension would be great. BTW, I'm fairly disappointed in the amount of documentation/drawing support for the Banebot Kit parts. I love the support from IFI and AndyMark for their gearboxes/frames/products. Why can't all vendors be like them?
