$38,000 since you would be paying the full development cost of the 1-2 kit... Lol

i aint no 41k gearbox guineapig!

but split 6 ways or more with your hong kong buyer and some others? Would that work?

Maybe the first enterprising few get intellectual property rights and a piece of future sales? =)

mooty

^ u in venture capital ;-)
i think matt could be convinced with enough angel capital, lol

AfricanHunter

ha. I have an established business and starting another one this month. My cash mainly going to that right now. Would have to be compelling.

I will leave it to you guys do to some math. As I said before, $2500 is less than my cost to make. But lets pretend that is cost. Adding in $25,000 development cost. How many units is the break even point at a $4000 retail price?

Hint: nowhere near 6.

AfricanHunter

18 1-2 sets with additional gears at $1095 plus lsd plus misc.

GT, where are you located? If we could get 18 paid commits, how long would it be to get first few boxes in and on the street?

AfricanHunter

and would there be any gearbox warranty from you on the complete setup? If so whats it look like?

GTgears

I manufacture parts for racing. 1 lap warranty.

I'm going to request you guys use the other thread if you want to talk about this. It's off topic of what Pete was discsussing.

IPSA

May I call you during the week to do some math?

GTgears

Guys, I'm not looking for investors. I'm not selling design rights. If enough serious buyers step forward I will make them. And it will be about a year...

Back on the original topic. An earlier post suggested to swap in the transmission from the 2.7. Apparently that was going to fix the gear spacing and strength was assumed to be the same.
What about that?
Is it this simple?
