just need to find a gear tooth count ratio to match diameter ratio’s and spin up some goods on the old mini-lathe. I’ve got a handful of smaller bearings if you want them C$. Mcmaster it up.
So far I’ve just been messing around with it, i don’t need the gears on the inside and this material was laying around my shop. If I was to build one “professionally” it would have some snazzy brass bushings and shit. If I have go that route down the road when this burns out on me then so be it. I just have fun building stuff like this.
Fly by the seat of my pants engineering…
You can see where I took out to much material and the gears didn’t mesh properly :oops:. TIG to the rescue!!
P.S. Spam16v…:bukkake:…the older ones KNOWWWW how to take it lolzz
Grab a granny FTW son

Not a penny spent…just some time one the good ol’ lathe…the gears were laying around from a machine I modded, so they were just collecting dust, I always have all sorts aluminum stock kickin’ around. It should work alright…the tricky part is getting the shafts to move apart without loosing the meshing of the gears. It would be easier to do if the teeth on the gears I have were taller. But that’s what you get for free parts. This thing is pretty small, pictures are deceiving.

That chassis will never be able to get that small. The “axles” are larger then the tubes I need to roll and they psychically cant get close enough together. Trust me I’d buy a “pro” type tool if it wasn’t $469 or whatever they cost
