Just curious, have you seen this done? I assume the Vex gears wold have to machined down to 0.400" thickness to fit. Or maybe you meant replacing the whole gearbox.

Thanks

I'm hesitant to use aluminum gears with a 6-CIM drivetrain after what we saw last year. It just seems to be asking for the aluminum gears to strip. 4-CIM is probably fine.
