Re: Versa Planetary Issues

Check your load ratings using the JVN motor calc and figure out the actual load using a luggage scale.

You might need to add another motor to load your catapult.

The 2014 motor mounts work way better than last years model. Don't put a excessive amount of grease into the housing.

We are using a dual motor input using two 18 Volt RS-775's, 3 stages at 300:1 with the 18:84 final reduction. The winch setup works great. Winds the choo choo around 8 seconds and can pull down with over 200 lbs.
