THIS! How am I supposed to use the 3/8 hex bevel gears on a swerve module that has chain to the wheel. 3/8" hex sprockets would save us a ton of time and money.

The seamless integration with pinions for the BAG motor, RS775, and RS550 alongside their perfectly chosen gear sizes (in 20, 40, 60, and 80 teeth) make it so that most any mechanism (especially intakes) can be powered off of one or two stages to get the perfect reduction.

These are a product I haven't seen widely used or known about that I feel would greatly help teams accomplish some of their more complex or weight-dependent design goals.

Why are these not available from vexpro.com and why are they all on backorder, stuff like this makes me nervous about planing to use them in season as much as I would love to try them out.
