You have to ask yourself the question, "10% of what?".

When you're talking about teams like 1114, they probably already have a drivetrain that more than meets their needs.

If the day ever comes that they believe they could gain a competitive advantage by allocating resources to re-engineer their drivetrain, I'm sure they will consider doing that.
