Time for one more thing from VEXpro before kickoff - the Ball Shifter Shaft v2!
VEXpro Ball Shifters revolutionized shifting gearboxes when the original 2 CIM version was released for the 2013 season. Since then, teams have started using them in ways that go above and beyond the original shifter's design. It made sense for us to accommodate these innovative designs, so we're excited to reveal our updated Ball Shifter shafts for the 2015 season.
Available immediately and shipping with all 3 CIM Ball Shifters, the new shaft includes the benefits of the original version with some key upgrades:
- Steel shifter plunger allows for smooth shifting even under high load
- ThunderHex output shaft provides new use options
- Pinned output shaft
- Adjusted plunger geometry allows for faster shifts
- Modified pneumatic coupler for higher strength
This was delayed from our initial release due to uncertainty about the situation in the Port of LA. We wanted to guarantee this item's availability before its announcement. If teams want to upgrade existing gearboxes, these shafts are available for individual sale (with the new pneumatic coupler kits) and are a direct replacement for the previous version.
