    Awesome work Johnny... Took me back to 1984 when I was assembling the 3 speed gearbox for my RC Tamiya Toyota 4 wheel drive pick up. No shifting dogs in that one... You had to come to a complete stop in order to shift otherwise you ran across "If you can't find 'em, grind 'em". I love watching you make and build things. Such talent and skill.

    Might wanna verify the shifting “under load”, as in having resistance on the output. Dog boxes usually in corporate a interrupt to facilitate up shifting under power.

    Nice work Johnny! I like the elegant use of the 2nd gear dog. i've not seen that method before (I mainly deal in 1:1 scale gearboxes!)
    While it's really nice to show your gearbox off, It would make a lot of sense to enclose it and run your gears in a bath of oil, if you can keep the localised surface temperature down on the plastic parts, it will help keep them from wearing out horribly. in almost any gearbox the fork is never used to hold the dog/synchro/gear into mesh, there's usually a detent that does that. which takes the pressure off the forks and rings, that's why you shouldn't hold on to the gear-lever while driving, it overrides the detents and wears the forks out prematurely. You could also make metal rings to press onto the plastic dogs, probably steel as your forks are brass already, full size gearboxes use pressed or forged steel forks with bronze "slippers" on the tips to engage the dog-rings.
    them survive a lot longer.

    I guess those plastic pieces are the synchros and the entire assembly is on ball bearings so the other gears can spin freely when not engaged. Is it necessary to have a clutch to disengage gearbox from engine when changing gears? I don’t want to make this build more complex for you. I guess this gear box is more like a sequential with straight cut gears?

Well after 2 hours I was done and had everything lined up in order of where it came out, I got to apprentice in the motor shop, the other guy ended up sweeping the floors and just general help.
