Re: Motors for harvester

We ran 2 in compression too, with a 2 in roller. While we used two 16:1 banebots 550, it was way overkill. We actually ended up switching out our motors for our elevator for LA elims to one 16:1 banebots 550, and it was really perfect. I personally would have geared our pickup up a bit, because it seemed quite good, but not as effective as if we had made it faster. If you have the ability to make a custom gearbox, I think two 550s in a 8:1 or 10:1 gearbox would be perfect. If not, revert to 1 550 in a 16:1.
