Go to Post I found another student once at a Cross Country meet because she was wearing a team shirt. I must say, I was surprised. I should start wearing my team shirt around more often. - TheBoulderite [more]

Re: Master Gearbox's

I've never had any problems with a properly assembled AM gearbox. We've used them this year and after 2 regionals and the Championship (37? matches or so) and a weeks worth of beatdowns we've never had a problem with them. One of them is kinda loud but it sounds cool so we never really cared. If you're ever thinking of using a custom gearbox I would look at AM first. Their products are constantly being revised and have been tested for seasons at this point.

Re: Master Gearbox's

We like to make our own gearboxes so we can get the exact ratios and mounting configuration we're after. However, we are still conscious of time and budget constraints and limited resources. This year we used numerous individual AndyMark gears in our drivetrain and spool gearboxes. They're cheaper than Martin gears, there are no heavy hubs, and they already have a hex broached bore (or in the case of the dog gears, are all ready to go).
