The plastic plates we used last year flexed and allowed everything to become misaligned. In years past, everything spun on brass bushings except the motor combiner. On this design, everything is on bearings except the shaft for the smash shifting, however the gear cluster on that shaft has bearings inside of it.

The transmission is designed to be modular so we've put all the drive sprockets on the same shafts as the wheels (6wd).
