Re: Incorporating the vex ball shifter into a WCD Drive

Last year we used supershifters on our WCD. We just made an adapter plate to mount the supershifter to our drive. If I were to run the Vex ball shifters this year I would mount in this same way.

Re: Incorporating the vex ball shifter into a WCD Drive

In 2011, Team RUSH (27) used 221's "Super Light Rolling Chassis" with the chains mounted outside the chassis perimeter. Would this work for you?

Re: Incorporating the vex ball shifter into a WCD Drive

The two stage version has that nice curve on the bottom, which looks like it would be nice especially with small wheels, but, at least in our wcd, we would need the 3rd stage which makes the whole package a lot harder to work with.
