CVT IS simple to do

A CVT is very simple, very cheap, and will work and you can get 1:1 ratio on speed. And whoever says a tranny wont make a difference because an electric motor makes max torque at 0 rpms...hahaha that is so funny. Waste of a brain really. When you change from the white gear and swap in the blue gear you are getting top speed in turn for torque( Let me add from an electric motor) therefore you are getting different speeds. The tranny makes the best of both worlds and will work.

All you need is:
-a small cone (can be wood ie. from a craft store) that will go on the motore shaft

-a wood cylinder the same diameter as the largest circumference of the cone (to get 1:1) take this wooden cylinder and attack it to the a bevel gear without the round gear attached (dremel it off)


-and a small sturdy rubber band to connect the two together

very simple and affordable.

I will post a pic of the parts and them together to give everyone a nice view.
