My only question is, why are you using the WCP SS Gearbox in the WCD configuration when you're doing chain-in-tube? Using the standard configuration would save you almost an inch of space on each gearbox (and also reduce gearbox cantilevering due to motor weight).
When we were looking at gearboxes we saw that it was thinner. When we got it there were only the long standoffs. Do you order shorter pieces separately? It seems to be working fine but a shorter gearbox would be nice.
