Re: VEX Robotics Relaunches VEXpro Product Line with over 120 New & Improved Products

Sunny,

You can absolutely just by the 10:1 gear kit. However, the 3:1 (and 4:1) gear boxes come with the 8mm CIM motor shaft. The 10:1 gear box comes with the 1/2" hex shaft. If you want the 10:1 and 1/2" hex, then you need to buy the 10:1 gear kit and the 1/2" hex shaft separately.

The gear kit is very easy to change by just removing the 2 #8 screws. The shaft is a little harder as you will need snap ring pliers to remove the shaft.

Paul
