Looks good! We did something similar in 2002 for our home zone tether, except it was kind of a rush job and didn't look as nice as yours.

We've also ran the FP gearbox a few times with the final stage cut off and the output shaft attached to the second-to-last gear. We've found this is a nice quick speed that is suitable for a lot of things and it also makes the huge black (or tan) box a lot smaller.
