Re: 3647 up and runnning
For the tower the gearboxes are 16:1 P60s with 550s then pulleys are 5inches [off mcmaster] to the PVC which is about 3inches in diameter. The original design called for 3inch pulleys for a 1:1 but a mistake with our McMaster order caused use to get 5 inch ones...

We have had no issue with toque; as you can see they fire up instantly.

Lots more photos in our blog linked my sig.
