2) Yes it is a two speed.

3) The reductions are:
High: 3.57:1
Low: 117.86:1

4) I don't know for sure. However planetary gearboxes in general can handle more torque than a spur gear since they have a larger number of teeth contacting. In addition given those reductions two CIM's is a little overkill on the output torque.

Basically i think it could be made to work but I would want to do A LOT of testing on a transmition before actually using one. Mostly its just a concept to be expanded upon.

is that right? thats one heckuva reduction, if so...
