Gearbox Question. Max torque and can I run it backwards?
Hi Folks,
I have just bought an electric 914 that has a 901 gearbox and a high torque electric motor. I don't have motor specs to hand but:
1)Max torque from the motor will be from standstill. What sort of torque can I expect each gear to cope with?
2) I can achieve reverse by running the motor backwards. Is there any aspect of the gearbox design that would cause damage if run backwards?
I'm asking on this forum because there are more people here and it's a 901 gearbox anyway.
Cheers
Jonny
