The setup works great and can lift 34 inches in just under 20 sec. We tried a 775 motor (AM 0915 gearbox) and it was way too slow and almost wouldn't lift at all.

We used 5/8 inch lead screw but it should still work. Whats the gear reduction of the gearbox did you use with the Bane Bots motor? Also i don't know if a mini-CIM with a 6:1 gear reduction will work if the Bane Bots motor with a large gear reduction didn't work. Then again, we didn't test the mini-CIMs for a lead screw, so I could be wrong.
