The first obvious questions: What sizes/arrangements of gears will you be offering? From the hex bores in some of the ones pictured, I'm guessing most will be drop in replacements for some of the standard AM ones. Pinions? Pricing?

The gear sizes shown are somewhat arbitrary; it was the usual custom 973 gearbox with gearteeth picked for our ratios. Also, the bores on the dog gears do not match AM. They were made for teams directly. The gears weren't perfect as some people pointed out at champs, and had worn of the anodizing completely on some (a minority); they still ran and never yielded on us however (through 4 competitions so far, and two more coming up). RC tells me him and the shop know the issues, and are certain they won't be repeated. I know he would only sell quality gears.

I would assume if he were selling he would be making standard sizes, and presumably drop in replacements. I personally would love "toughbox" style gears to give us more easy single speed spur gearbox options. Direct replacement for the AM shifter set would be cool too.

So yeah RC, that's what WE want ^^^^^^.
