Perhaps an additional planetary or spur gear reduction on the back of the trans & in combo with a reduction on the front of trans with a slower (higher winding) motor will give the necessary slow speed & torque you'll require for the screw drive and slow your trk down to a more desireable scale speed?
Or is that "more on that later as all the work is not done on that yet." part yet to come?  |
thanks guys,
Wow Joe, you are making my head spin,
you thinking way to much for me. I am not that smart. lol I get ideas try them if they don't work I try something different. I just hope someday I have a something that works. your builds and videos are pretty much what got me hooked on this rc construction stuff
and yes the "more on that later" did mean I don't have it all figured out yet
