Today, the drive has become ready, but for that I had to build a lot.
First off, the drive axles from 8mm silver steel. I've got the same times a few more done , since I need anyway.
So I could also build all the gears in this transmission into the case , it was necessary turn off the axes at a point 0.85 mm. Since the axes are guided to the outside but through two ball bearings , there is no risk , therefore, to have a weak point.
The drive gear I have again brazed to the axes .

The housing cover must be milled out some files for the gears .
It is mounted with M1 , 6 steel screws. Here I cut just the thread through the side walls of pan and transmission , which is not so easy.
Before the cover is mounted and glued on , I fill everything with graphite grease . So the transmission is maintenance-free for life.
I also add sufficient grease on gears and closing it with the printed cover
After I have mounted the drive wheels and tracks was a first test drive nothing in the way .
And of course a little video .
