Re: How much torque can the Dewalt Trannies take?

To the best of my knowledge Rush was twisting their driveshafts, not their trannies, but I could be wrong! Hope he can add some input as well. Rush was one of the faster heavy teams out there this year.

It was very educational watching battery voltages throughout the matches on the IFI screens - for instance during the 4 minute practice matches chicken's voltage was running down in the 6's and 7's, but they may have been using old batteries. Many other teams were dropping down that low as well at the end of 4 minutes. This year was a hard one on batteries - but that's for another topic.

RC - before someone beats you over the head with it, I suggest you do some searches on the forum. There's a white paper on dewalts to get the ratios and then it's a very easy excercise to use JVN's design calculator to figure out how fast you'll be moving.

Re: How much torque can the Dewalt Trannies take?

I also believe that Rush was breaking drive shafts. I don't believe that the dewalt themselves were giving them trouble. Another great thing about the dewalt is that it is so cheap it is easy to have spares, but I think that the transmission itself is very strong. We are going to try 2 cims into 1 dewalt driving high traction treaded wheels this summer and report back on any problems.
