Re: Need help with west coast drive.

We used this gearbox this year (7:1) and it was our best drivetrain ever! Best speed and torque. That being said, I would suggest changing the gearbox! To much power and 3 CIMs is too much for a demo bot.

If you DO decide to use these i would suggest supporting the other side of the axle. On Saturday at CT State Champs we broke the axle clean in half (after 3 competitions, and many demos)
