Re: 4488 Off-season Gearbox

For 6 inch wheels they jump from 7.9FPS to 16.5FPS. There is no in between with the WCP ones. That is tough, because in most games 7.9 is too slow, and 16.5 is too fast for a single speed. Plus at $150 a piece, we have bought all the gears, shafts and materials for about $100, which is much cheaper. If they could get a 10FPS option with 6 inch wheels, that would make them look better, but they would still be too expensive.
