Well that's kind of vague. I wonder what "reasonable" also means. Where did you find this?

[KF5ZXT]

Pirate, like the thread title says.

[TxPlates]

No need to get snippy, I forgot Pirate was a website, thought maybe that you just liked pirates.

[KF5ZXT]

Lol. There's also the link that I provided on the first line of the initial post.

[TxPlates]

Well then you need to make links show up in a diff color, looks like it's just underlined.

[KF5ZXT]

Is this your first time on the internet?

[TxPlates]

Yes, have noticed a ton of red on this site? So are we to assume everything underlined is a link?

[KF5ZXT]

A ton of red?

I'd say 99% of things underlined on this board are links.

I'm wondering how this design is made. Possibly a planetary gear set on one end in a sealed system?

[KF5ZXT]

That's what it seems like from his description in the rest of that thread. Sounds pretty interesting.

[TxPlates]

Wouldn't that still leave it as vulnerable as any other with the amount if stress?


Sent from you guessed it.

Well not really most drive shafts are hollow tube. Adding a hardened steel gear set on one end won't make it weaker. In fact the shorter hollow tube would be stronger then a longer one.
