@Bill, great job! I saw some other teams at sac doing the same thing. We too are using rs 550s and p60, 64:1 gearboxes on our roller claw and haven't noticed any problems. When did your original gearboxes start showing wear and tear?

Doug,
The RS-395 and Globe transmission actually an experiment. We wanted to test it out to see if it would be a workable alternative for a roller claw we are building to take to St. Louis. As it turns out, it is .25 inches too long. Instead we will be direct driving rollers with window motors on "Claw 2.0".

We got burned by Banebots not delivering on time. Then after hearing about the failures the P60 is experiencing, we wanted to avoid them like the plague. With the minimal load a roller claw sees, the RS550 P60 combo should be fine. But, if it would be used in a heavier load situation, then the P60 is out and the Globe is in.

This bad-boy may not see any use from us this year, but it's good to have as an alternative in the future.
