FRC designers want to do the most in the least amount of space. One of our solutions to this is the WCP SS Flipped Gearbox. Combine the WCP SS Flipped Gearbox with any WCP bearing block that has a 2" center to center and unleash the power and variability to make your perfect drivetrain!

  • Flipped motors opens up 1.8” per side compared to WCP SS Gearbox, over 3.5” saved in the width of your drivetrain

  • Compact form factor gives you more room for control system components, subsystem sections, and game pieces

  • A wide range of reductions from 5:1 to 15.5:1

  • Compatible with wheels from 3.25” to 6” in diameter

  • Accepts Kraken X60 or any other 2" bolt circle with a maximum diameter of 2.5" (~64mm)

Two Speed Gearboxes

WCP Flipped Gearbox (Dog Shifter, 3 Stages) (Product Page)

Sometimes you just need to use 3 motors on each side of the drivetrain, but the available options either don't provide the reduction you're looking for, or aren't designed for the tried and true West Coast Drive mounting style. After having this problem ourselves, we decided to solve it with the WCP Flipped Gearbox. Add a WCP Gearbox Bearing Block (217-3634) or a V2 Versablock (217-6111) and you'll be good to go. We made the WCP Flipped Gearbox so that you can make any drivetrain you want.

  • Accepts 3 CIMs, Mini CIMs, Falcon 500s, or any other 2" bolt circle with a maximum diameter of 2.5" (~64mm)

  • Over 440 different gear ratio options

  • Interchangeable with your other COTS WCD gearboxes
