It also looks like you're planning on using the VEX Pro aluminum Miter gears. This is also not a big deal, lots of team use them, but I suspect the fact that they are aluminum will increase wear speed. With those two things combined, your drive performance may not suffer, but you will probably find yourselves replacing the miter gears pretty often. What is the process for replacing a miter gear? How long will it take?

VEXpro Bevel gears are 4140 hardened steel not aluminum.
