twin hammers gears in ascender

[iluvny081]

has anyone tried putting twin hammers axle gears in either the front or rear of their ascender to try to get a overdrive/underdrive? sorry to be vague. I'm really not sure what size the ascender pinion and ring gears are, so I'm not sure if the twin hammers gears would have to go in the front or the rear.

Twin Hammers gears would be way too big to fit in the Ascender axle housings.

As a point of reference, the TH diff has 10x15mm bearings installed on it while the Ascender has 8X14mm bearings. You can see the TH ring gear is much larger and there is not much room in the Ascender's axle housing.

Of course, that doesn't even take into account the different pinion designs or room for the TH diff cup.
