Hello!

Im not sure this is common practice either, but due to our modular West Coast style drive rails (our drive system unbolts from the chasis in order to allow for maintenance or emergency swap-outs), our transmissions need to be easily disconnected. We found this is the best and cleanest way to do so.

I am including an image of our modular system used at 2014 offseason competitions. The transmission pictured is last years custom one speed. (its beige simply because it was an r&d project). This was taken during a dissassembly to train new members, so the middle wheel is of course missing.


Thanks
