once i tweak it ill get you that stl.you need it with hubs for tamiya gearbox or something else?

on the delta loader,i just installed 2 16mm gear motors in mine to save room over the tamiya gearbox route.im verry happy with speed and power.....plus $8 shipped for both gearmotors hard to beat.
ill get a pic of that tomorrow,top end still in peices and need work.
I would LOVE to have it in the original design, if you don't mind. I designed mine to use a servo hub from robotshop.com that bolts into that hub. I've experimented with lengthening the teeth with zip ties glued into the teeth. I glued them in with a skip tooth method.......glue one tooth, skip the next, glue another....................so on & so forth. I found it worked well. What DIDN'T work too well, is that the zippies are too fragile & break off &/or wear down very quickly.
