Only if you neglect to remove the locking pins first. Otherwise, spike them, since that's what they are controlled by in cars (a relay).

not 100% true.

planetary gearboxes do not increase torque all that much... only until the max torque of the gearbox is reached, which with BB planetaries (esp. old ones) is quite low. ditto any planetary for that matter. otherwise, you will strip the gears, which in the case of planetaries (like the BB) are quite small and fragile. often the gear that goes is one of the sun gears; they are both small and solo (no other gears sharing the torque, unlike the planet gears).
