Re: Custom Gearboxes

Custom gearboxes are nice, but WCP 3-cim gearboxes are hard to beat.
I would go custom only if I am confident that I can get an appreciable reduction in weight (at most a 2.25lb gearbox) or size (because WCP gearboxes are pretty large). Or if you have a gearbox design you want to try in the offseason, such as a bevel box or something similar then it would be good to try custom.
