So I know that the 775 shaft is small, and double loading is probably not the best idea, but if you supported the other end with a bearing, would it be safer to double load it? I know teams like 254 double loaded their CIM/ Mini CIM shafts with the help of bearings. Basically this would require a small dowel to be inserted into the end of the 775 pinion, since the shaft doesn’t fill the entire pinion. In the model, I chose a 8t 20 DP pinion from Vex since it seems to have more meat to the pinion compared to the 6t 20 DP and 12t 32 DP.
Has anybody done something like this before?
