    @noorbeast Hello. :)

    How is the better than single shaft or dual shaft for 12v dc 250w motor(50rpm and 60:1 gears ratio and max 28A) + worn gear head?

    @noorbeast Hello.

    Sorry, I ask question again. :)

    If I attached potentiometer to the output shaft, single shaft or dual, what is the good choice?

    also How many people use a dual shaft? I would like to know the advantages.

    and If I have to use a dual shaft then It Does helps the COG balances of caculation?

    I'm thinking trying to make a birch plywood frame 30T and 2 pieces.

    In addition, two seat is somehow seems to be not good this point.

    Perhaps I thought might lead to smaller rooms... ;)

    Things like the motor specifications and cost are what is important.

    The pots can be attached to any shaft arrangements, so it is more about getting motors that are suitable for the design in terms of ratio, torque and speed.

    @noorbeast Hello. Thanks.

    Are you using the output from one shaft is equipped with couplings and a potentiometer?

    Thank you for your kind reply
