Re: pic: Blizzard proto base
I have a question I've wondering about for a while.

It seems like lately I've seen a lot of CAD models for drivetrains including wood as material for them, and I was just wondering what the advantages are to this as opposed to using aluminum or some other material?

Is it cost or weight savings that is the main advantage? If someone could shed some light on the topic I'd appreciate it a lot.

Thanks in advance
