Oh no, you're not pouring cold water on anything! I'd rather have as many opinions and accounts as possible, helps me design something that's more likely to work well! I'll still be getting the NTMs so there'll be nothing lost, but if that's the case I might try and squeeze the two-stage in with some beefy sensorless motors. Depends which method would be the most size-efficient and lightest, but it's definitely a good idea! I'd quite like just a pair of gears similar to the ones I have now over a planetary, but I'll see how I could make a planetary that'll have enough strength to stand up to that kind of force...
Good to hear Mr Mangle worked well too, it seemed to handle pretty nicely I have to say! Did the motors have to come to a full stop, then brake before they'll reverse or was it more or less instant?
