Re: Cim-u-lator Gearbox

Cim-u-lator (550 comments),

I used the Banebots $30 coupon to offset the of purchase 2 - 550 motors and the 550 cim-u-lator gearbox. I hand assembled the unit and thought it went together well.

If you are planning on using 2 motors in your Cim-u-lator like I had planned you should be aware that you are missing some components. You will need a 2nd pinion gear that Banebots sells (PN missng here) as well as 2 small machine screws and lock washers (PN??) to mount the unit. The unit comes equipped to mount just one motor.

If I had to do it again, I might have used my Bane Bucks to get the 775 Cimulator and a 775 18 volt rated motor and try to use this configuration in a belt driven application for the shooter which would keep all 4 CIM motors available for traction/propulsion
