Re: pic: Holo

In the Gearbox picture I noticed that there are 14 tooth 3/8 inch hex gears in the gearbox. Just letting you know that there was a manufacturing error in the ones that were sold during 2016 season (the way they machined them made them weak or something) and over the course of our season we managed to shear all of the teeth off. I doubt that you will have problems as this isn't exactly for brutal play, but I would recommend having spares.

After our issues, we replaced them with the steel versions and they were fine.

(I'm not looking to blame vex or start a war, just sharing information)

Otherwise, it looks great!

Re: pic: Holo

I have no idea, sorry!

But yeah, all of the teeth on them. (we assume one sheared, and then it's only a matter of time.)
