1050 drive motor question

[Sherwyn]

Anyone know how much torque is required to drive the 1050?

If you built it yourself - how did you decide what to use?

Any torque information on the PW drive?

Thanks.

I would like to make a drive unit for my 650. The only thing I know is a gearhead motor about 13 RPM. You will have to fabricate a slip clutch of some sort. Someone out there has to have made one pics would be good too.

i have the p/w unit on my 1050,,,it works well, and dont think you would save much $$$ by building your own....i had considered it, and have seen homemade unit on a camdex,,,but lots of timing issues, ect, involved building your own, and at my age, the less aggravations encountered the better
