In theory, I ought to just be able to slap the 10:1 gear kit in there, but trying to be careful when ordering.

It's my understanding that the VersaPlanetaries are hot-swappable. The front and end pieces remain constant with your motor and output shaft options. Meanwhile, everything in between can be added/removed as you wish.

The VersaPlanetary is a beautiful system in my eyes. The ease of versatility isn't matched in the market.
