Currently the gears are baseline steel.

As you probably know, selecting the Bevel Gears was by far the trickiest part of this design. If the mounting distances are too large, the wheel separation makes rotation of the module impossible. On that end, if you happen to know where I might find a hardened, spiral bevel gear set that fits near the specifications for under $120, I would greatly appreciate it....

Also, how exactly do you calculate gear strength anyways?
