Re: pic: Modified/Integrated Transmission

The 20DP, 14.5PA steel AM Toughbox gears should be more than capable of transmitting that much torque (and much more) before giving you any trouble. Several teams have used similar arrangements in the past.

My only other thought is that I'm not sure if the relatively meager weight savings of dogging the inner plate like that are worth the decrease in strength.

Good job!
