Re: BaneBots p60 falure

The same thing happened to us in build season. We had some older gearboxes which were really solid and had partially threaded socket head bolts that were about 1/2" longer than the gearbox, but the new ones come with screws that are just asking to get stripped. Who knows why BB changed the screws, but the solution is definitely longer screws right after you grease your gearboxes.
