A little late but anyways. We've used bevel gears the last two years in our crab drive. And now this year in our turret. In the wheel boxes for our crab drive we locked them in tight and haven't had any negative effects like slipping or coming out of place. The wheel boxes use 1:1, and our turret uses 2:1 this year, and i must say they are grand for our purposes.
