What @bwahl602 said :point_up_2:. He told me was going to focus in fixing his home the last 3 weeks. Perhaps is now available. Send him a PM.

You’re practically teasing me to give away info on my gear drive.

But, the reason ground clearance is bad is because the center distance between two gears is the sum of their radii. The center distance has to be as big as the radii of the hanger + motor, which is quite large.

The wheel gear therefore needs to be big enough to have a big enough center distance so the motor doesn’t hit the hanger, while maintaining a decent ratio.

Give it away :smile:

Yup agreed, and that’s where I think a smaller drive can use idlers to make that up. But you’re right, a 15/40 setup might be too small of a diameter in the smaller mods. A smaller diameter gear gives more ground clearance, but you’re adding more parts and costs to maintain the same center to center minimum distance to clear the motor and hanger.

POM works perfectly well. But Maximizing the design could mean a departure from POM

PS @Boardnamics, Ive got some TKPs needing a drivetrain still

There is nothing wrong with POM or any nylon material for our gears. Steel is more durable but there are many benefits that plastic gears have. Less noise, more compliance, and less sensitive to lubrication. Lighter too, not that it makes a big difference.

Im doing the testing :smiley:
