The gear on the CIM is an 11t 8mm bore gear linked to a 1/2" hex bore 18t gear from vexpro. I have a cut Vex 8mm to 1/2" hex adapter on it to adapt it to an 8mm shaft for the 15t bevel gear down below. The CIM shaft goes into an 8mm bearing in the center of the turning gear to align it properly. The end effect is that the bevel gear is offset from the center, ad makes for an ultra-compact design.
The snap ring is just to retain that 8mm shaft for the bevel gear/ hex adapter.
