Hello Allen

Are you using the 1:1 gearbox as a bearing system for the cantilevered shooter wheel shaft to take the side loads off the motor shaft?

Our team was able to demonstrate shootting frisbees at the upper goals yesterday evening. When I arrived this afternoon, they had the mini-CIM torn apart. Apparently the sleeve bearing at the end of the motor with the brushes had become severely worn and the rotor was dragging on the stator magnets. The shooter wheel was mounted directly on the min-CIM shaft.

Thanks.

Phil
