What is the gear ratio of the KoP FP gearbox? I don't have one on hand.

To respond to an earlier comment, the motor is only drawing 10 amps at stall, which is is a bit weird. This happens ever after the motor is starting from a cool stop.
I think we need to know where the force is being applied, otherwise you can just calculate the torque.

And I'm not 100% sure but I think the FP gearbox is a 117 reduction. If I'm not right, I'm close.
