Re: pic: Fisher Price gearbox
The 2012 FP gearbox is worse in terms of usability. I took one of ours apart, and it has orange gears with small octagonal holes instead of 3/8" hex holes.
I'm thinking about boring out the gear on the lathe to fit a 1/4" or 5/16" round shaft and using a metal hub to clamp the gear to the shaft. A bit of extra work, but life's like that.
