Gearbox Ground Clearance Issues

This would also set up the possibility to power two wheels from the output shaft of the gearbox.

Just one idea. Im sure there are many other ways to fix this.

If you want a visual aid.

Thanks, I think we could eliminate the third stage and get the additional gearing we need between the output shaft and wheel sprockets.
