Re: compact transmission

I am currently downloading inventor from first base again so i'm planning on quickly recadding the whole thing.
i've remembered the size of box i'd have to fit this in though. So thats what im basing shape off of.

The bottom plane of the frame to the top plane is 5.5" vertical distance and that box is 6" wide, with plenty of length for a transmission.

So generally what i was thinking was having the cim shafts pointing down, combining to one central input in between the two (inline). And then having the transmission go back up flush with the back of the cim, which is why the shape of planetarys would fit well. But I am liking the ball lock idea i think i may have a good way to fit it.

Once i get the cad redone i'll post some pics

edit: im not go away from coaxial you can't make me lol it worked well last year it'll work well again
Craig: the wheels will be 3.5" diameter by 2.375 wide with Natural rubber rougtop on them, they got wider from last year i dont like being pushed. 2" is the thinnest i'll go
