Re: Banebots P60 256:1 output shaft free play
In ours there was no free play when new. I would suspect the Double-D shaped end of the shaft is rounding out in the plate (I am correct in saying these are driven like that right?). It may yield until some point and then not go any further. If you have that much free play though, I'd suspect it would keep opening up. Hard to say.
