nope my team has been using standard tough boxes for a long time and i haven't seen anything about toughboxes being removed from available usage

also yes they do slow you down quite a bit but if you want to play defense its whatcha gonna need

also easiest way to mount tough boxes drill holes in the casing mount that t the chassis and and then use all-thread and or a piece of 1in by 1in square bar and basically bolt them together. you need to do this because the amount of torque outputed will bend the bolts holding your gearboxes in place over time

also go steel its much better to know you wont have to strip apart gearboxes in the middle of a comp
