Re: Large Reduction Single Speed Gearbox
The only gearbox we've found that will allow you to direct drive an 8" wheel at a reasonable speed is the West Coast Products Single Speed gearbox. I'm fearful for rookie teams that attempt to direct drive their KOP frame using 8" wheels using the Toughbox Mini's, it'll be hard to control at such a high speed on such a sectioned field.
Just wanted to add that I'm really impressed by the flexibility the WCP SS gearbox gives. 4 different pinion choices allowing you to basically go up or down ~1 ft/s at a time. We could go 7.5 ft/s or 10 ft/s by swapping pinion gears, love it!
