Re: Toughbox Nano Tube 31 Gear Drive

Yes. Our team despises chain, we have popped countless chains over the years and we try to avoid it at all costs. We also like the minimal maintenance required for geared drivetrains. The excessive idler gears worried me as well which is one of the reasons we were looking into adding another motor and removing most the idlers.
