Another build using 6:1 gears from a kitchen blender.

The mounting plates n angles are from a kids game called Mechanix.

Even the Red n Blue gears that connect the motor shaft to the drive gear shaft/axle.

First test was 30% OK with 55mm (1.6x) 20sec Subs.

The lower blue gear is rubbing on the mounting plate n the motor shaft has a little Up-down play, so there was slippage n jerks.

Tracks well for a 1-2 minutes n the jumps n jerks.
