Re: pic: DeWalt drive base
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it risky to use two shifters on the same side?

Suppose one of the servos stops shifting... Then you'll have two gearboxes chained together running at different speeds. The DeWalts will strip themselves, and you'll lose half your drive train.

Yes, it is an unlikely scenario. But its the kind of disaster that could ruin your day.
