I was working on using the pulleys and even have done one with the 24T gear
but i was staying with the direct non-slip drive, and the 24T one has the
axel off-center. but i did find out that following the same instructions
you can use the new double bevelgears ( iforget the tooth count) but they
did come with the Spybotics set gigamesh
http://shop.lego.com/xt_Imagepopup.asp?Theme=&XMLPath=2057&iFile=/shop/Produ
cts/TYPE10
you can see the gears driving the "tri-star wheels" it does make the diff
smaller in diameter.
sorry i couldn't find a peeron ref.
