Default Gear Reduction Unit for Clod

It's almost done, this one is fully hidden in the gearbox. It should be ready for shipping in about 1 or 1 1/2 weeks from now.

The gearcover and some custom gears still need to be made. More pics will be posted as soon as it's ready to ship.

This product is inspired by Jay's original design.

Very nice, I was wondering when someone would start making reductions again.

Hidden in the gearbox huh? So I guess it replaces the internal gears?


$39.99 is a great price!

Hmm. I'm having trouble picturing how it would fit inside the gearbox then.

Can't really tell, but it looks like it also raises the motor up just a little bit.

I had trouble understanding the chart on the page. Why does it have 66.17:1 on the top line and drop to 48.89:1 on the one below? How do you achieve the 66:1 ration?
