Re: BaneBot Gearbox Replacements

From personal experience, the 07 globe transmissions will work with the rs-775, provided you do a few small modifications. You will have to ream out the pinion to fit the shaft. We did this on a lathe, but if you have the right size reamer, you could do it on another machine. Also, the plate that the globe motor mounts to, will have to be modified. There are a few small boss on the plate that will interfere with the rs-775. Using a manual mill, these can easily be removed, just take care because the cast aluminum is brittle. After you have done this, the rs-775 mounting holes are on the same pattern as the old globe motors, and you can assemble. Hopefully, you can make it work, we are having the same problem with banebots. Good luck
