I was quite happy with the performance of our bevel gears in our drivetrain, part of it is deciding whether to sacrifice the efficiency for the pro's of coaxial (no limits). Which i chose coaxial for the simple fact that no matter what the programmers shouldn't be able to break the drivetrain .

And the better you align them the more efficient they'll be, we had a 13fps high gear and if you watch matches with us in them we get moving pretty good, so the efficiency loss is not very noticeable.
