I like switching to 4" wheels when possible to lower CG.
Why switch to aluminum Vex gears over steel AndyMark? I see Vex now has steel gears, but not in the sizes that might fit the Toughbox.

Just curious, have you seen this done? I assume the Vex gears wold have to machined down to 0.400" thickness to fit. Or maybe you meant replacing the whole gearbox.

Thanks
