I did some googling, but couldn't find anything about a miniature CVT transmission design. Sounds like a good idea to take advantage of a BL motor's torque, while eliminating that shifting hiccup (and possible loss of control), allow us to use smaller motors, and be able to use the motor for brake and reverse...

IIRC, most CVD designs in 1:1 cars are kinda limited in the amount of torque they can handle. Just wondering if it would be a good idea for R/C use.
