Re: FP Gearbox Ratio

Kevin--we made a single stage gearbox last year using the FP motor and first stage gear, and a piece of 3/8" hex shaft for the output, and some 3/8" flanged bearings. We made the the holes to mount the motor and bearings without the aid of any type of CNC or DRO device, in fact it's pretty sloppy but lasted all season.

If you need less reduction than the stock FP box gives, don't be afraid to try to make a simple gearbox using one or two stages of FP gears.
