Re: 501 needs your help – P60k 256:1 Banebots Transmission
For those of you with failing BaneBots planetaries, you may want to look into Dewalt Drill gearboxes, and/or a hypocycloidal lug nut torque multiplier. Ours has been holding out so far, but it hasn't seen a lot of heavy use. We have the 256:1 with a steel ring gear. In our design, it should see no more than about 15 lb-ft, and it is well supported on the end. I hope it lives, but I'm prepared to deal with it if it doesn't.
