Re: pic: 3 speed concept - 1st gear
I have always wonder about this kind of shifting, how long can a gear box like this last?
I had this idea a while ago but I didn't think it would work because of the gears hiting when shifting. What do you all think about using brass for one of the gears that meshes and steel for the other one. I think since brass is a softer metal it would start to take the shape needed to shift properly.
I know there was a team that use this method and had four speeds, i think it was team 33 but im not sure? someone please correct me if wrong.
