hi amberwolf

well, the diff and gearbox are holding up fine so far. no problems whatsoever. all that stuff is rated to withstand 15hp (11kw)

but, as i wrote, the gearbox with its straigh cut teeth is on the noisy side (it comes from a lawnmover so i guess thats not a problem there)

but if you have electric reverse id do it without the gearbox. i wanted it because the thingy should be able to go fast with little load, like just a camera or be able to go real steep with 200kg of load, so with that range of application, 3 different gears are good. but if the ground is even i always use the highest gear, no matter the load.

if your payload is always the same (1 person) then id do direct drive and get the gearing right for your weight and purposes.


fyi, thats the gearbox:
