I understand the basic concepts behind the duel speed transmissions, but i dont understand all the pros and cons between the differet types. This is what ive got so far:

Mash:
easier to build, but the teeth of the gears are more likely to break during transfer - how can you solve this problem?

Dog:
less likely to break, harder to manufacture. we may or may not have access to any advanced machines to build this thing, just a nice drill press and a band saw, but dont worry, we are commited to making this happen.

i know there are more methods, but for only 2 speeds, they didnt seem very good. if im wrong, please enlighten me

thanks for all the input i know the CD community will give.

its realy good you can go slow on turns and then go fast when you need to
