Re: CVT Transmissions

With the vex differential gears and 2 motors, you can have one motor drive the outer gear and another driving one of the left or right axles.

The only thing I'm wondering is, unlike those CVT (e.g. the belt drive one), at lower speeds is basically one motor reducing the rpm of the output shaft since the primary motor is always spinning at full speed. Does this really create more torque?
