I have a good friend who is a CalTech engineer who wants to make a 25 pound redrive
for the rotarys. He's willing to do the  FEA study to optimize the design. I have looked at what Dave Algae has done with his redrive using Carbon prepreg and an autoclave. Can you express your thoughts on a carbon redrive and can that be a viable solution to Tracy's 45 lbs monster?

I have seen that before. The big question is how is it going to handle
250 F temperatures? If it is not a planetary I doubt the spur gears
will hold up for 2000 hours or more. Racing cars that use that type
of transmission only have to last a few hours. I'll start to believe
it when it starts to win some 24 hour races.
