Re: Banebot 56mm gearbox - double D related
We are 2nd year team that is planning on using the 56 Trans in direct drive. I am new to posting as well. One possible solution we came up with is to reduce end play by adding a shim between the motor and the drive gear. This pushes the whole mechanism forward so ultimately the drive shaft is set "into" the Double D. We don't have a drive train to test yet. If other teams could make comment or possibly test this solution we be most grateful. We feel the end play is allowing the failure to occur. Also my technical adviser suggests crucible packed with charcoal, bone, or other carbonized material and forge heated for 8 hrs or more. We are concerned about warping the plate. We are opting to not heat treat and have andymark trannies just in case we have to redo the drive train.
