Burke,
The P60 gear boxes need some time to break in and run freely. If you just grease it and run it, the gearbox will bind up and take a lot of the power.
I recommend greasing up the P60, then running it for about an hour - 30 minutes in each direction. For the first few minutes, keep a watch on the temperature of the gearbox and motor, if either gets too hot to hold, stop and let it cool down.
After this break-in period, disassemble the gearbox, clean it well, and re-grease it.
