Re: 3D Printed Gearbox for Denso Throttle Motor Available
Good thing you decided to share it, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to use it because it was designed before kickoff.*
I know I've seen a few others of these gearboxes floating around CD but I can't find them right now. They tend to not get a lot of use in this age of infinite motors because you can just use a 775Pro on a VP or a BB775 on a banebots gearbox instead and for a little more weight you get less volume and much more power, but I could see a few instances where this might be a good solution.
If it's not too late, you might consider adding a second throttle motor to add more power and wiring them in parallel. According to 2016 rules*, you can use two throttle motors on one motor controller (2016 R53). If you're already designating a motor controller for this gearbox, you might as well get more power out of it.
*Standard disclaimer that this year's rules may differ
