The Banebots RS-550 + a 4:1 reduction provide a speed close to the AM 9015 (am-0912) motor through the AM Planetary. We missed the AM Planetary when it was in stock both times, and as a result are resorting to the extra Banebots we have.

The 550's and the P60 gearboxes are quite reliable in my experience. (We used them for our arm and our roller claw last year).
