Re: Custom "Car Style" Drive System

I am just an electrical guy but in this configuration don't the two output shafts rotate in opposite directions? Is this only the inner mechanism and you intend to add an additional mechanism that it is rotated by the drive motors? If that is the case, wouldn't a second idler, opposite the one shown, be a good idea to distribute gear loading?
