Re: pic: 1683 8 wheel drivetrain updated
The transmission plates are really not that heavy. They're really pretty thin. The reason the cheesypoofs gearbox was so light was that they used all aluminum gears which saves a ton of weight over the steel ones. They definitely have an incredible gearbox that I got to see up close but I really don't want to have to make a new gearbox. Also call me crazy, but I don't feel that 40lbs is really that much for a solid 8 wheel drivetrain especially with transmissions. I would much rather have the weight in the drivetrain than up high. Also we kinda pride ourselves on never getting pushed and being able to push anyone.
