750ACE Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 I wanted to know if anyone has tested the difference between the following setups with V2 IR: Two XL motors with a (3:1) 36 driver to 12 follower or (5:1) 40 Driver to 8 Follower VS. two L-Motors with the same Setup. The reason I ask is because right now I put together a setup of Two L motors running (3:1) 24 to 8 direct output to an axle without a differential. It hauls pretty well. After researching more about coupling motors on Philo's website I am surprised to find out his reasearch shows minor advantages to coupling. When running a single L motor with the same 24 to 8 gearing I had less torque and top speed took longer to achieve. I am waiting for a couple of orders to arrive to test the various gear ratios and motor couplings, I didn't want to rip apart my sets at this time. Quote
