Gearbox/reduction for CIM,RS550,RS540
We have some CIM, and RS540/550 motors left over from 2008 and 2009 kits. Interested to use them as future drive motor in the prototype platform. Normally, folks will use some gearbox to reduce the RPM of the motor to make it usable as drive motor. Have any one/team use either chain/sprocket or timing bell/pulley directly to drive the robot successfully. If yes, how and what are combination of sprocket/pulley parts numbers?
