If you have access to a mill, lathe, indexing head, and pedestal grinder of any size, you can actually make your own bevel gears and regular gears to save a little on costs. Look up "how to make a gear hob". If you have a community college in your area, they might have a machine shop you could use.

Nice design for the gearbox. Looks like it can save on valuable horizontal real estate.

I'd love to see a 2 CIM version so you could have a "V-Twin" or even a 1 CIM that looks like a 1900ish motorcycle engine or model airplane engine.

I actually designed this gearbox with four mounting points for motors, partially so that I could mess around with different motor configurations.

It sound like an awesome process to learn about. Unfortunately, my team has never had access to a pedestal grinder.

Of course there's no time like the present! we just got done building a CNC router on a super tight budget, so I feel like we might be able to make something work.
