Thumbs down exploding gearboxes -- please wear your glasses...

The gearbox for the drills is designed for about .65 N-m input torque. As the TechnoKats have proven, you can make them work with about 50% over torque (a drill motor plus a Fisher Price motor).

But...

If you slow the drill down to the 5500 RPM free speed that the Chiaphua has and then ADD the Chiaphua to the input to the drill gearbox, you will be inputting something like 4 N-m to a gearbox designed for .65!

Let me know before you turn on the power as I would like to have me safety glasses on...
