Re: Omni Mania

before the 2002 season we built our prototype kiwi drive with two drills and one fisher price motor. as with any other motor matching we geared the fisher price to meet the drills free speeds. we had never recieved three matched motors before but were determined to use our kiwi drive and controls. when the kit arrived and we had three matched drills we were psyched........but our prototype worked awesome even with one odd man out.

because of the nature of the kiwi drive the slight differences in motor matching didn't affect performance, you're constantly using all three mtors and wheels and it just buzzes along. we've never used it again, but neither has anyone else. it's a really great drivetrain....we've built all kinds and the kiwi is still my favorite.
