One module is slotted, the length of the slot will detemin how far it can move. The distance is not far.


I can see why you might use the helical gears just to save space in the chassis but it would seem like the price wouldn't justify the cost. Although if you had some of the old helical gears from 2004 and previous season lying around I would definitively see the benefit.
We have some helical gears from 2004 but if the cost is too high we may have to change the set up. It would be nice to keep the space though.
