Re: A late-night drivetrain brainstorm
It's not that bad of an Idea. But you pointed out that you are going away from the hassle/weight of chain/sprockets. Now let's think about it here for a minute. adding two XRP/transmission/motor, you are adding weight. Losing 4 ft. of chain and 6 sprockets (there are other configurations), you are losing weight. Will the gain and loss of weight balance out? Question is the what are the pros and cons? Noodleknight does have a point. At the same time, it can be done. This is when personal preference comes in. I rather stick with one transmission per side and run a chain from the output to the wheel unless I was to do a swerve drive.
