|  Just some random CAD
Need a break from physics, so I figured I'd post this up. 60:1 worm gear, 2.2 crawler Stick :?   Maybe it will inspire someone to make something :neutral: |

Interesting thought! How well would worm gears hold up to these kind of loads though? I think that if a tire got bound up, the "pinion" gear might want to chew the teeth on the ring gear. It's basically a R&P minus the axle housing and a motor in place of the driveshaft. Clever idea!

| The worm gear is a powerful setup. If tires get bound up then things might break(teeth, axles, stripped hexes). Also with the worms, when the motor isn't turning the axles will be locked and it won't roll on it's own. Very interesting thought though. Worth a try. |

Thats a neat setup, I like how it keeps the motor up heigh and the weight centered.

talking about how the worms may break why could they not be a metal gears, i know that they are more costly but they are in fact stronger then any other plastic gears. just a thought.
