Default Re: RC4WD CVT

I noticed that on rcbrmin's website a few weeks back but that's the first video I've seen of it working. I can see how it would work well but only if you used the motor they recommended and it seems awfully fast. I could be totally wrong but years ago a few of my friends had Polaris ATV's with the CVT's. They worked OK if you left the motors stock but when they started changing the power and torque curves of the engine it threw the trans off. The end result was you had to modify weights and springs in the tranny's to make the "shift" correctly with the changed motor. I wonder if it would work if you ran an 80 turn motor or a reduction ahead of the trans?
