The transmission plates are really not that heavy. They're really pretty thin. The reason the cheesypoofs gearbox was so light was that they used all aluminum gears which saves a ton of weight over the steel ones. They definitely have an incredible gearbox that I got to see up close but I really don't want to have to make a new gearbox. Also call me crazy, but I don't feel that 40lbs is really that much for a solid 8 wheel drivetrain especially with transmissions. I would much rather have the weight in the drivetrain than up high. Also we kinda pride ourselves on never getting pushed and being able to push anyone.
