It's always cycloids with me lately, isn't it?
This is my second attempt at making a gearbox which fits motors from a crashed RC heli, the first which works acceptably: Note I do not say *fly* as much as "whirl its blades around alarmingly". Unlike my previous attempts it has no preferred rotation of direction. It **cannot be backdriven** -- if you try and let the motor freewheel, it will just seize!
Required vitamins:
* 1 x 625 ball bearing
* Probably epoxy, to hold the cam in place
