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.
You're forgetting to factor in time. By buying the gearboxes you save time, and that can be worth $50 extra per gearbox.
