Re: 501 needs your help – P60k 256:1 Banebots Transmission
Can you define the "Catastrophic Failure"?
We've had three gearboxes fail, and all but one of them was easily fixed with a New Carrier Plate and Output shaft, both of which can be purchased from Banebots, and they should ship within three days, so if you selected overnight shipping you could have them by next Monday or Tuesday.
The gearbox that we haven't fixed yet failed a little bit more spectacularly than the other two. The Ring Gear/Case started to spin which ruined the roll pins/spring pins and the holes they sit in. I believe Swampdude posted a fix for this somewhere that involves drilling new spring pin holes and milling the ring gear slightly.
