Can anyone help... looking for a website or company that manufactures custom gearboxes... you know the type... single input, single output or dual out put, same, or couner-rotation...oil filled... water cooled... have been searching for while now... I am at a standstill and want to get my boat in the water this coming spring...

It would help to know what you are hooking up to it. Nitro gearboxes are hard to find.

The gearbox included in the Twin Z from MHZ is also separately available. It increases the RPM by 33% (over and above the Z drive gearing which increses RPM by another 16%). This gearbox has counter rotating shafts. So one engine produces two counter rotating props through the gearbox with an RPM about 50% higher than engine RPM...

Here is a pic of the older box. In fact the MHZ gearbox has just been redesigned. Better bearings and gear placement. Better housing diecast Aluminum. V shaped housing to allow lower CG placement etc...
If people are interested I can make some pics...
