Merely rotated the motor 140 revolutions to observe the output shaft rotate one revolution ……very tedious.,

From what I can tell 4:1 Taigen v2 gearboxes in the High/low config 48mm shafts have the greatest reduction and should fit in a Tiger 1. At the very least you will get better low-speed control, so you can get your realistic tank movement by using low-speed.

:haha: It's no problem, been researching gearboxes forever now trying to find one for my StuG III Ausf C/D build, unfortunately, couldn't find 4:1 gearboxes that would fit the Stugs low profile, so I ordered some Low/Low 5:1 gearboxes off forgebear.
