Yes. All of the base models have the input housing + output housing & shaft + motor mounting kit (with new clamping screw and plastic motor plates). This is what many teams used last year as their 1:1 gearboxes for shooters.

S_forbes,

The planetary gears have had the profile shift since the beginning. The gears from this year and last year are completely interchangeable. On the 10:1 gearbox, if there was no profile shift, then the rated load would be significantly reduced. The small pinion on the 10:1 gear stage has the most profile shift of any of our gears.
