That said, with the size of fields we play on and the wheels that are available to us, 6 CIM drive seems to be about the limit of practicality. Please don't get me wrong, I really like this design both for it's creativity and it's aesthetic. I would love to see how it actually performs. I know with the right final gear ration, you could drive it continuously at full speed without tripping a breaker. The carpet might not like it, but that's not the point of this design. ![]() |

Re: pic: Fun Bevel Gearbox Idea
Looks more like a 4 CIM + 4 mini-CIM, if I'm not mistaken

Re: pic: Fun Bevel Gearbox Idea
Can you comment on what exact gears you would use if you were to make this?

Re: pic: Fun Bevel Gearbox Idea
Dumb question: How would one remove a motor for maintenance, if needed? There doesn't seem to be much access.

Re: pic: Fun Bevel Gearbox Idea
We had 4 CIMs/4 Mini-CIMs on our drivetrain and didn't ever pop the breaker. That being said, we got a little lucky

Re: pic: Fun Bevel Gearbox Idea
Just a few questions i guess. It looks like you are using 4 bevel gears.
If you are using 4 would you not be loosing a large amounts of mechanical efficiency? I love the idea i just think that using that many bevels would be a mistake even though it is a pretty sleek design. |

Nice design for the gearbox. Looks like it can save on valuable horizontal real estate. |

Re: pic: Fun Bevel Gearbox Idea
I'd love to see a 2 CIM version so you could have a "V-Twin" or even a 1 CIM that looks like a 1900ish motorcycle engine or model airplane engine.
