thanks for the new 20gear and 8t diferences, i knew allrdy about knobs..
I cant wait till S tank 2. dont forget to make the video for 2 hours long!

I never knew about the 8t gear differences, so I’ll keep it in mind when building heavier models! It’s also reassuring that you listen to your readers ( @JAke87565 ) and act upon them.
Thanks for extending this post, I’ve learnt a couple of things already from only a brief scan through it.

Thanks for adding the appendixes. The explanation of the use for the new 20T bevel gear is great and very well explained. I also like the addition of the knob “gears”. These have little to none backlash and are great for precise steering mechanisims and robotics operations.

that picture with all the gears and number of tooths really helped me!
thank you for a great website!

@legonut3 I have no idea what your gearbox looks like.

I am using a double-differential cvt gearbox in a project, and the gears inside the diff. snap if they are under too much stress. how do i solve this?

@Lukas Only with the 20-teeth double bevel gear, so there's not much to write really.

Would you be able to describe the very new differential gear? It has main gear beveled. With what other gears will it work good?

Well done! A well thought-out tutorial that addresses some of the more complex issues (e.g. backlash) in a straightforward manner without loosing sight of the laws of physics. Nice!

You wrote the 14 t bevel is unpopular. Believe me, sometimes it’s irreplacable, e.g. when I need to have a distance smaller that the standard half stud between parts! That gear’s thinner that half a stud. Thx for the tutorial!
