Gearbox upgrade Herringbone/Helical smooth transmission

thingiverse

This is a remix of the two gears from the original Staind tank, combined with a remixed track wheel found in the link below to enhance sound quality and smoothness of the gearbox. Same ratios apply, but motor-to-gear transmission is switched to herringbone, while gear-to-wheel transmission uses helical due to varying assembly differences between tanks resulting in slightly disparate space between the track wheel and gearbox. A herringbone might not work as well in this case, but both offer improved smoothness thanks to consistent tooth-to-tooth contact during rotation. Initial tests were successful, but further testing is necessary to determine its effect on longevity.
