The motor is an RS-885, and that bronze bushing on the end on the versaplanetary output shaft is very important! We have used many banebots planetaries in the past, and I am pretty sure they wouldn't have all their teeth after this experience. Kudos to Vexpro and IFI!
Rs-885? I've never heard of this motor. Where was it from and what were you using it for? If you don't mind me asking.
