All you would need to do is use the 8mm to .500in Hex adapter from Andy Mark on the CIMs. Then mount a 24 tooth .500in Hex bore (27-2704) and 40 tooth .500in Hex bore (217-2708) from VEXpro on the CIMS. Then use the standard gear set (60 and 44 tooth) on the shifter/output section. |
+1. Also, the 8mm to 0.5in hex adapter fits two gears on it perfectly, so you can place two gears on the cims with no problem.
Seeing as you will need another reduction stage anyway, I don't think it can hurt to get a bit mroe spread. The main reason why I avoid single stage shifters like this one is mainly because it's slightly heavier with the extra outside-gearbox reduction that's needed. On the other hand, it's easier to replace a broken gearbox.
