I fail to understand how that makes the cimple-box more efficient than a normal aluminum gearbox (al plates). If anything it should be less efficient than a correctly made/assembled gearbox regardless of plates.
Gears should never scrape against the plates. On a cimple box, the gear has a double protrusion, so it should never scrape against the gearbox.
