MrNumbskull13 Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Yo people, I was wondering what you all think is the best kind of gearbox. I am making a 2 speed gearbox but I don't know what type is best - linear or use one of the red Lego switches, let me know what you think! Quote
piterx Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 it depends on what kind of gearbox you need....do you want a remotely controlled one? Quote
Someonenamedjon Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Yo dude, It all depends on the weight f the vehicle, i would suggest linear. Quote
MrNumbskull13 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Posted March 25, 2013 Thanks, btw I'm only making a manual one for now. Quote
Alasdair Ryan Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Since it is a manual one, I would go for using the technic driving rings,this option is also the most easiest. Quote
