Need help (easy) - Rotate 2 axles in opposite direction 12 Studs apart

Recommended Posts

I don't build with technic often so aren't familiar with the available parts to solve my issue. Right now when I rotate the gears the Leftmost and rightmost gears rotate in the same direction. This is because I have an odd number of gears. I want the two outer axles to rotate in the opposite direction. 

I also tried to put an axle 90 degrees out (see second picture) which gets the 2 outer axles rotating in the opposite direction,  but I can't figure out the correct elements required so my pins aren't hanging half out.  

Some beginner assistance would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Try doing the same as you did in your second picture, but with these

Awesome. Thank you for all your suggestions! I thought I had remembered there being a bracket the held the 90 degree gear mesh, I just wasn't cluing in that it would space the one gear away from the beam. I'm pretty sure I have some kicking around if not I'll steal some from a set in storage. 

Thanks again!
