Looking good.

Alcyon, just a quick question regarding your mid layshaft conversion. If you are going down the route and doing the pin hole for the pulley are you going to copy the design of the Mid for the layshaft holder that fits inside the outer bearing. Your design is rather unique and think that may be the option if you can locate the correct pulley.

Thinking about having a pulley molded from plastic, I am a bit scheptical on this as why did Kyosho make the hub metal with the grooves, considering they did copy the rest of the mids design over so think the original prototypes couldnt handle the power and broke the mid style pulleys as the pin would rip through it. Just my thought on this.

I will also once I have a cost for the layshaft, will be asking how much for the pulleys out of alloy, with a pin style design on the back so we can go down that route. I will also see if they can do the normal out of alloy as well.

about copying the Mid layshaft, not really actually, i was thinking of more copying the Kawada SV-10 layshaft, which also uses a pin. i only intend to use a 1mm pin like the Kawada, not like the Mid which uses a 2mm pin. The only problem with the plastic hub i think would be the grub screw tapping. After a few times of loosening and tightening, i think the thread will probably strip. i beleive plastic is not the way to go. i still have not been able to find a suitable pulley and i think a machined pulley designed by myself to copy the Lazers original pulley width sie, except it will have a 4mm center hole and a 1mm long slot to let the 1mm pin go through to key the pulley.

Guys, have I got news for you.

See the below pictures and make up your own mind. Im still designing the under gearbox section and will redesign slightly the CF plates but as can be seen its not bad for the first proto, not bad at all.

Ok so we do need to find a machinist to make the small poles and small washers and bearing holder tensioners but thats what designing new things is about.

PS those belts do look superb with this
