What DP are those bevel gears?

Watch out for flex in the gearbox causing tip-loading on the bevel gears. Make sure you beat the heck out of those things to ensure the gears will hold up even under worst case shock load.

We uhh... had some issues... uhh... with that sort of thing at one point. Yeeeeeahhhh....
