I beleive 2 transmissions are needed, I need to get power to 3 axles. From the front to the rear axle is about 25", so the driveshaft would have to withstand a ton of torque being that long. I would also run into the problem of getting 3 outputs from one trans. Unless anyone has an idea that would work to only use one motor. Are brushless motors really that powerful where they could turn 6 jumbo kongs and get going pretty fast? I never would have guessed they were that strong, I was planning on using 3 or 4 brushled motors originally and 2 super roosters. I was thinking I would run 12 cells for each motor (2 seperate sources). I think gearing is going to be figured out through trial and error. I have a good idea where to start to gear for torque, but thats only with brushed motors, these BL motors are so different it makes me change everything I have learned.
