Re: White Paper Discuss: Nothing But Dewalts

Hey my team is very interested in NBD. Last year we used the Andy Mark 2 speeds trannys for the drive train. They just didn't seem to be worth the weight and cost. My questions are:
  • How reliable is "shifting on the fly"? Anyone have major failures?
  • Is it unreliable because of servos not acting at the same time or just the characteristics of the NBD?
  • IF it is the servos, would replacing them with pneumatics fix this? Seems to me like it would. anyone tried?
  • Would using two CIMs to one Dewalt transmission be too much for the Dewalt? Is an extra CIM even worth it? (drivetrain)
(Pics are always helpful )

Thanx,
Grant
