Re: Gearbox Ground Clearance Issues

One of many possible solutions is to not direct drive the center wheel. If you were to move the gearbox to a higher location, and have the output shaft drive a gear/pulley/sprocket, you could power your middle wheel with a gear/chain/pully. This would also set up the possibility to power two wheels from the output shaft of the gearbox.

Just one idea. Im sure there are many other ways to fix this.
