Re: How much torque can the Dewalt Trannies take?

WOW that is a lot of work there guys! great job, cant say i haven't fantasized about the dual cim dewalt transmissions a few times myself. i have probably mentioned this before, but the carrier adapter plate provides a much much better solution compared to EDMing that stage. Like you said, i would also recommend putting the further gear reduction After the dewalt to make sure you don't run into those torque problems anymore.
