Gearboxes

Hello, well with build season over we are looking ahead to the new task for next year. We would like to try and construct custom gearboxes, as the banebot ones took up a lot of space. So I was wondering where I could purchase gears for such a gear box. We are going to try a one speed transition first. So i need a gear to connect to the cim, 8mm shaft and 2mm key? And it will be going into a 1/2" axle, so a 1/2" gear. Now, what is the best way to secure the gears to their axles, as we will be trying direct drive? Thanks in advance, and I hope the build season went well.
