Re: Banebot Gearbox no longer working

The pinion has probably slipped on the motor shaft. It happened to one of our 775's during practice this past weekend.

At a minimum, you'll want to order a couple of extra pinions from Banebots. They're only a couple of dollars each, and they ship the pinions out quick, usually only takes a couple of days to get them.

The old pinion is most likely wallowed out and ruined. Hopefully the motor shaft isn't galled up and you can just press on a new pinion.
