Re: How do you put 2 CIM motors into a Dewalt transmission?

I designed that transmission model that is posted. However after talking to various people, if at all possible I would caution you not to run 2 CIMs into one dewalt. The stresses are too high for the transmission to handle. If you must run 1 dewalt per CIM for each wheel. Your best bet for a 2 CIM transmission would be to use a spur gear based transmission with dogshifter or ballshifter ala andymark or team 222. It is a bit more expensive but basically bulletproof. Also I would encourage your team to use as many prefabricated parts from andymark as possible in your transmission design as gears and such from there are cheaper than anywhere else unless being donated.
