Where's the pics of the body off? We need to see the tranny you're talking about.

Looks small.. I'm curious to see how it does myself. I see a blue star there...... is this going to be a possible new product?

I've thought about using a cordless drill planetary many times, but I could never figure out how to adapt the huge input shaft, or how to get a final output shaft rigged. If you don't mind, where did you get a planetary that would fit our application? Your trans has a customer in me if you decide to produce them, I want one for my Hilux build up, looks scale through and through. If you have white plastic to use, why not dye them dark gray like a real trans? Either way, I like it alot. Shoot me a PM if you can produce a few more...

Very nice, mini atlas, like chino said

2 ?'s

1- how does it mount to a chassis?
2- when will you start selling them and how much?

I am running 8 -1100 mah cells right now and have great wheel speed and
45 min. run times on old batteries. I have some new 1500 mah. batteries
on the way. I will make up a 7 cell pack and try when i get them. This
thing runs very quiet with no trouble and you can tell by the pic. of the bottom I am hard on it.

You could mount at any angle, upright or lay down. We will test
a little more and see how it holds up. I will keep you updated and
post some more pic soon.
