I truly expected some sort of structural failure, but it help up rather well.

My first technic lego set was a bunch of gears and a motor with one of the models being a multi-speed gearbox. Had no idea what it was until my dad explained it.

Not that it paid off later but building it and adapting it into other awesome models was the most interesting thing I got out of my first 6 years of education other than basic literacy.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Strangely watchable and fascinating.

I had capsela's back when I was a kid and they gave a basic understanding of gear ratios. I mostly played with the X in one electronic component sets though.

This video seems like a wonderful must see for grade school engineering.

I cheered at 17,000rpm.

Horsepower is all well and good, but torque is what gets you moving.

If they had more gap on the output, and tighter in the lower speed side, even that damage may have been a lot less.
