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

Its also non-reversing, whatever that means. (non backdrivable? or can it only turn one way?)

Not the best tranny for FRC. But if I ever build a go-kart I'll look into these things
Yeah, it's definitely useful for something....

but at that weight, size, ratios (7:1, 4.5:1 and 4:1 doesn't provide wide range of shifting), and complicated operation..... it's not for a FRC robot.
