    Fyi, the best way I've found to make a transmission bullet proof is to add an overload clutch that slips before any of the gears break. Did it on my battle-bots and never had gear failures even with all the abuse I heaped on them. I usually just clamped the gear against a shoulder with disk-spring, but spring-loaded ball, or even a spring loaded clamp collar would work fine.

    In regards to the 92 tooth gear which you were considering to be replaced with a steal version. Would it be possible to instead use an existing mass produced gear? If any exist that would require minimal modifications to the current design it may be well worth it to keep cost down a bit lower while still getting a massive strength increase.

    It may be outside of the scope of this project, but adding a suspension to the road wheels would help hills and uneven terrain as well.

A Christi style suspension would keep the body profile low and give you good travel
