Re: attn. Hot team (or anyone who had a similar drivetrain)

If i recall correctly, 67 used completely out of the kit (and slightly reinforced) Fisherprice Transmissions to turn. Yes the gearboxes with nylon gears, with about 3 brackets going through them for extra support since they are a tad flimsy.

As for the drive system itself they had a custom 1 speed transmission. It was set to go pretty fast and they also had the roughtop conveyor belt treads.
