I too was wondering about that, but hadn't brushed up on my motor portion of the manual to comment much further.
I too am curious as to whether or not that is legal.
They may be using another kit motor & a Dewalt transmission... but even then... idk.

I noticed you're using what looks like a drill motor.

Yes indeed these are FP motors. We removed the pinion from the two KOP FP motors, then pressed on pinions from a third DeWalt tranny that we sacrificed. The total cost to build these was $80 per setup. We will use one on our lift and one on our "shooter".
The drive pulley was turned on our lathe from 2" aluminum round stock. The remaining pulleys and idlers were turned from 2" UHMW round stock.
