Re: Which gear pitch to use

In 2004 we used 20DP, 20PA with a face width of 1/2'' from Martin.

One CIM motor per transmission, three speeds.

In 2005 we used 20DP, 20PA with a face width of 3/8'' from Browning.

One CIM motor per transmission, two speeds.

I think the 20DP, 20PA, 3/8'' face width gears should hold up to any punishment you give them, no matter how many motors FIRST gives you at them.

By the way, does anyone have any stories of broken gears? If so please post what type of gears you used and why they broke!
