Thanks for the order Kusal,
I don't have a definitive answer on the weight at the minute.
The original plastic drive-side casing weighs 8 grams and my prototype was 24 grams. However, when I manufactured the other half I took a lot of excess material out of it. But forgot to weigh it.
My target is to get the drive side half down to the order of 15 grams.
However, I'm being asked to incorporate a lug on the front of the box to facilitate the mounting of a chassis stiffening strut! This is going to add a bit back on. I would think that a steel strut down to the top of the battery retaining plate will have more weight than the amount of aluminium that I'm able to shave off the casing.
Some people may be bothered about the weight and others may not.

One question; what is the weight difference compared to the plastic gearbox?
Thx. |
