Allen,

Thanks for all the good and open info on this prototype, it's great! We are emulating this design for another shooting prototype, and noticed that the 1:1 gearbox generates heat very quickly. Does your transmission do this as well? I suspect the bearings in the output shaft don't really like to spin at 15,000 rpm. (in fact, we actually released a little bit of magic smoke from a 550 just by spinning up the 1:1 transmission several times in quick succession)

If I had one gripe about the vexpro planetaries, it is that the motor is not indexed very well in the plate that it mounts too. This can lead to binding if teams aren't careful assembling it. That aside, I love these things!
