Re: pic: Team 948 2-Speed Ball-Shifting Gearbox CAD Drawing

Awesome video badbrad!! It explains the transmission very nicely. One question: How deep do the slots for the balls in the shifting gears go? A full 5/32? Or less than half of the bearing. It seems that slightly less would be the way to go, maybe 1/4 inch deep into the gear with a 5/16" EM (our design uses 5/16" bearings as well). I would think that the balls would disengage easier.
