I found a nearly endless supply of 90 degree gearsets. 1/32 scale slot cars
use them for their drive trains. The largest gear reduction avaible is only
like 3:1. However, then can be installed directly onto a BG micro gear
motor, or modifyed to work with servos! Just pop out the metal bushing, and
glue it onto the servo output shaft.
