I still think you guys are looking at this differently than I am. I'm sure you understand me. I just think you've decided to run it as is.

I truly believe the gearbox needs to be addressed. Yes I know that's not possible, right?

Why ask a motor to scream that high?

So... what if.....??? I put two pulleys on custom shafts and have the motor turn the lower worm at 1:1 ratios? I think 4:1 would be better but I'll have to see what kind of pulleys I can get to work with a given belt. Anything lower would be better than this 8.5:1 that's inside here.

Maybe a stock Third Rail belt set-up would work here? I've seen the inside of my Sunset Allegheny and I think the belt system would work if I can set it up correctly. Then, I'd leave the worm to axle gear alone, and pull out the tower's idlers as they won't be used.
