cams ala xerox, anyone???



Why must both motors be outfitted exactly the same way? What practical
purpose does that serve? So long as they both can be operated safely at the
same upper rev limit, what's the harm in having different output
characteristics? Like I said, you could tune the handling by tweeking the
motors differently.

The more I think of it, actually, the more it makes sense.
