Re: pic: Simple Chain-in-Tube Concept

Thanks. I basically got rid of the plate and standoffs that come with the 3rd stage kit and made the output shaft and gear part of the drive rail. The gearbox then bolts on. I had reservations about putting 3 bearings on the same shaft, but since it's bolt tolerances holding the 3rd one on, I'm fairly comfortable with it.

Here's a pic with one gearbox removed.
