Sorry for digging up an old thread ;) In the solar car I'm building (see the 'heavily modified 8880 chassis' thread) I've so far broken 3 old style 24 tooth gears. (among some old style 12 tooth crown gears, but that's no surprise really...) The (...) (22 years ago, 8-Mar-03, to lugnet.technic)

While that automatic transmission looks very good indeed, I don't think it's very well suited to this kind of car. I also wouldn't have enough parts to build it into the chassis. Today I've done another 2 rebuilds of the gearbox, so I don't have any (...) (22 years ago, 7-Mar-03, to lugnet.technic)
