Re: Need help with west coast drive.

Can you specify which reduction you're using?

I don't have access to CAD atm, but I think the only one that would present that issue is the 12:84 version.

The only remedy I can think of, if you're absolutely sold on using THAT gearbox, is to use larger wheels, a different reduction, or to not direct drive (though it wouldn't really be a WCD anymore...)

Otherwise, using a different gearbox is probably the best way to get around this.

As far as 1 speed transmissions go, the AndyMark 3 CIM Toughbox might be a good replacement, as would this year's KOP gearboxes. (3 CIM drive is probably a bit much for a t-shirt shooter anyways...) Just note that you'll probably want the long hex output shaft.
