Has anyone done some rough calculations on the power output of this transmission. I know from the past post that the main advantages were the lack of having to shift.

It would seem to me that you would have higher power available to you in both high and low at the output shaft using a shifter with the motors individually geared to match free speeds and all driving the output. From my first breeze over this I think everyone is saying that the Chip is overdriving the drill to go faster than the drill can when in high and the chip is essentially ideling in low. In the 45 shifter both motors are chipping in in both low and high. Shifting with the 45 design gives all of the power you could want in low (Can spin the treads!) and it is fast in high, and the gearbox is tiny by comparison.

I may be missing the whole point though??? Wouldn't be the first time.......
