This partially balances the fact that this worm gear box is something more
space-wasting than other assemblies, as well as the 90°degrees (I really

In fact I still find more confortable working with a bunch of liftarms and
connectors, rather than incorporating those bulky assemblies in my MOC,
which I alwas try to keep as compact as possible - but maybe not so sturdy
;-)
