here are some sample pics of my gearbox. It currently consists of 3 parts. A main plate, a "cup" (the shroud basically), and a "dust cover" which is inappropriately named. It is basically a removable portion of the "cup" which makes it easy to set the gear mesh. It is possible to run without the cover, but it risks allowing rocks and other debris into the gearbox, potentially damaging the gears. This is meant for straight up bashing as well as racing with a BL setup in the savage. It will work with any savage tvp, and will put the motor as far forward as possible. PLENTY of space in the rear for batts, including the long 170mm ones (if using either FLM ext. TVP's (what I have) or Xl tvps)
This gearbox is compatible with ratios from 48:9 up to 48:13 or 50:12 (based on distance between the gear shafts).
EDIT: weird tabs on top are a mounting point for a not yet designed ESC mount.
