Re: Overdrive gearbox?

Hey Ksafin, I hope I can help.

Is there a specific application you are trying to use the Modulox System for? There are a number of configurations you can use them in but depending on the application you may need a few additional components. For example the stock lunchbox kits have gears similar to a toughbox.

If you want to gear up consider using a 8mm shaft to 1/2" hex adapter or larger 8mm gear from AndyMark. These adapters are also included in the higher end kits. You can fit a max of 3 stages in the lunchbox 5 stages at 212:1 in any 1 Modulox Channel slot and many options in the 2slot and 3slot plates.

On our current shooter we are using Modulox with a 1:1 gear ratio off of 1 CIM. We are able to shoot aprox 20' with this configuration.

Feel free to comment here or email me directly at dan@ir3creative.com. Also, if you have any pictures or cad files that may help us understand your application send those along!

Dan
