Re: pic: 6Wheel Drive Sheet Metal

From what I can see you have 4 unnecessary idler gears. We do a 6 wheel drive with six inch wheels and direct drive from 5 inch steel gears for a total of 10 gears. The gears that we purchase are from Boston gear, we than machine the thickness down to save some weight. Next year we will be most likely going to 8 inch wheels and increasing our gear size. If you need more specs on the gears let me know or pictures I can get them for you.
