Re: 2012 KOP Fisher price with AM Planetary Gearbox

We, too, have had problems with this gearbox. (See my previous thread). We've had four go bad and have decided not to trust them. Same problem. They were all well lubricated but planetary gears seized to their pins. At least two went within 10 minutes of powering them and under no load. Andymark did send us new output shafts and gears but do we really want one to seize in competition?
