Re: RS775 Gearboxes

696 put in an order for some P60s on Wednesday night. We'll see when they arrive.

Does anyone know what the first part to fail would be in the 4-stage P60? Is it worth upgrading to the steel ring gear, or would something else go first? I'm wondering if the steel ring gear would keep it alive a little beyond 35 ft-lbs.

I don't yet have any first-hand experience with these gearboxes.
