Consider how you are mounting the gearbox. Having that angle on the bottom won't help and I don't see any mounting holes already.

It doesn't seem to be a shifting transmission in which case it can be a lot thiner.

You should also reconsider your uses of a 17 tooth gear, I don't know where you plan to get it but something like 16 teeth is much more common.

Tristan has a good point, what benefit does this have over an andymark product? If your goal is to make something smaller/lighter than you could start with toughbox gearing and go from there.
The Bolts will be longer and the nuts just get put on the other side of chassis (sheet metal chassis)

Could be a lot thinner, but its my first transmission so i don't have any experience trying to compact it.

this is a 17 Tooth gear from Andy Mark.

Its just for Fun. I dont plan on making it better than AndyMark.

EDIT: Pic of Internals is now in Original post
