System Redundancy!
« on: April 25, 2011, 08:55:40 PM »
Had a small issue with the main winch the other week when it did not wind in, so been looking at building in some resilience.

So if twin motors is good, what about four?  ;D

What say you Sooty?  :P

Assume you are making the front springs more resilient next?

Does that not depend on the operator and if theres welsh air in the mix, all should be fine  ;D

Yea Gods !

.....silly question perhaps  - but why not stick one VERY large motor on it ? Must be some weird gearing to get all 4 motors driving ?
