Re: 6 motor drivetrain gearboxes

I imagine that an additional stage of reduction is used on the RS-775. It doesn't have to spin at exactly the CIM's free speed; as long as you get it within a couple hundred RPM, you should be fine. Multi-motor gearboxes deal with unevenness like this all the time; not all CIMs are identical.
