Yes, this gearbox is somewhat ridiculous. That's kind of the the reason why I CADed it this summer as an exercise...

The lowish speed is 11t to 65t, using the VEX pinion. The faster speed is 17t to 60t. I designed it to use a 3.6" custom wheel. This means that the 65t gear is dangerously close to the carpet. that's why its made from steel as apposed to Al. lol
