We havn't built a drivetrain box yet, but we have done arm gearboxes before. 1/4" seems to work for an arm alright. Our team has a habit of overkill, and if we do ever decide to build a drivetrain box, I'd like to make sure it doesn't become afflicted with the syndrome...

1/4" should be plenty, unless you're putting some
serious torque through it.
You could get away with 3/16" in some cases too.
