The HiveDrive is the sweetest way to power your combat robot. Built as the smaller sibling to our BeeBox gearbox, the HiveDrive delivers the same buzz-worthy performance in a more compact, 1.375″ square package. Whether you’re building a rookie bot or a seasoned stinger, this gearbox ensures your drivetrain will always bee one step ahead of the swarm.
Sporting a sturdy 3/8″ hex output shaft, the HiveDrive lets you bolt on your favorite wheels and sting the competition with torque that really stings. With a precision-engineered 27:1 reduction, this gearbox turns motor power into a silky-smooth drive experience that’s sweeter than fresh honey.
The HiveDrive uses the same 25-19-16 BeeBox mounting pattern, so upgrading or swapping parts is as easy as pollinating flowers on a sunny day. Tested with the ferociously powerful Badass motors, this gearbox is ready to buzz through the arena without missing a beat.
