Re: AM Super Shifters

We're pretty excited about our shifters; they came in a couple of weeks before the break and we had the opportunity to run one with just a single 2006 CIM motor and the servo. Our only problem was (still is) mounting it to our prototype frame, but that's because the mounts we made twisted when we welded them to the frame -- we're making a new process tomorrow to avoid this on the actual frame, but other than that we're very impressed with this transmission.

Also of note is that the keyed universal hub is fantastic mate for this transmisssion, and the hubs look like they only need a slight shave for the flat AM sprockets to fit over them -- something to consider if you plan to direct-drive one of your wheels from the transmission.
