Here I present my 12 speed gearbox design. The gearbox implements 3 reverse speeds, a stop gear (zero speed), and 8 forward speeds. The forward speeds range from 0.307 to 1.2 and reverse from -0.067 to -0.36. The gearbox has a single gear lever to drive two rotary selectors to select the gears. Let me know if you like it, have any comments or questions.

 

Hi. As in your 4 speed gearbox, you use only one side of the driving rings. This seems interesting to me as it might reduce friction problems (maybe at the cost of a bigger size). Am I right?

Hi Vascolp. I am not sure to be honest - I have never measured the friction of a gearbox but that will be worthwhile doing. I don't think the friction will be a lot less as the central axes of the driving ring is still rotating and held in place by a liftarm hole.

Great stuff as always.  But only 12??? :tongue:

LOL well trying to create some useful gearboxes for a change ;) :wink:
