Anyway, cool gearboxes. I couldn't tell what you meant by a dropped swerve until I saw the modules in a base. |
I've found that aluminum bellypans tend to be heavier than wooden ones, especially when just perforated with a hole pattern vs. putting in a diamod cutout. In order for aluminum to compete, is have to be very thin (around 1/16").
