You guys are making it sound MUCH harder than it is to save money and time.

You design your transmission based on STANDARD parts i.e. 20 pitch 20 d.p.a. 20 tooth gear, no hub (Which is smart since they are easier to find replacements for at events). You call up a Motion Industry somewhere near you, you tell them the specs of the part you want, they either pick it out and have it waiting in will call when you get there or they send it to you (Which only takes a day or so for local in state deliveries since almost all the parts are in stock) and there, you have your part at a cheaper rate than MSC, Small Parts or most other places I have found. Half the time Small Parts is sold out for the whole six weeks on powertrain products.

Ever look at how much Rush wants for a gear you need in two days, try over 8 or 9 HUNDRED dollars!

This thread, I thought, was about learning. We learned we could get parts quicker than most suppliers at a MUCH cheaper price, so I wanted to share it with you all here.

If you would rather not get most of your parts on time and pay a lot more, don't let me stop you!
