There is a lot to like about these little guys.

I purchased both versions from Banebots this past fall. I also purchased the AndyMark CIM-sim.

There is a lot to like about the CIM-sim too.

Things not to like too (e.g. I don't like AndyMark's use of clinch studs -- one came out in the sample I purchased. I don't like the low 2.7:1 ratio on the CIM-U-LATOR I don't like that both block the vent holes on the front of the motor - but lots of folks do this, including my own dang self often in the past).

I have just uploaded a bunch of photos of both these gearboxes to Dropbox -- here is a link to the gallery

Good luck.

Does anyone know if you can mount RS-550's on the CIM-Sim's as well? It says series 500 motors, but I do not want to assume.
