Re: Pressing Pinion onto Banebot RS775
Anyone have an opinion of plopping an AM planetary into a 3-stage GEM-500 and driving it with the 775 with a drilled out and pressed on FP pinion? And then maybe go 3 or 4:1 in sprockets and chains to an arm with say 75 ft-lbs of torque at the arm joint. Doing the same with a P60 worries me a little.

I reckon it'd work mighty-fine, and be a good deal stronger than a P60, due to the all-steel 20DP gears. Anyone agree? I take it's rather easy to modify the AM planetary motor plate to accept the 775?
