This is FAR easier than changing the spur gears on the 3 motor outputs, and will allow you to modify easily should you ever want to drop a FP or CIM and need a slightly different torque.

Right now the distances between gears would accommodate a standard Toughbox ratio, but the placement of the motor / spacers interferes. The use of a standard ratio was far from intentional though.
