Re: pic: DeWalt drive base

I'm not a big time drivetrain guy... but can a DeWalt transmission take the torque of two CIM motors? Perhaps you could combine their torque before going in to the transmission?

Or, to avoid the 'losing half the transmission and stripping them out' problem if one shifts and the other doesnt (or other reasons why one might sease) can't you just turn the torque clutch down on the drill to a reasonable number so that in case you start to backdrive the transmission too hard it just slips? I don't know how much torque the clutches go up to in those things before they go direct drive, just a thought.
