Re: Problem with CIM-VersaPlanetary Setup (Choo-Choo motor)

It sounds to me like you have damaged splines on the output shaft of the planetary or broken a sun or pinion gear. You should take it apart to assess the issue to know for sure. If there are broken gears, the torque applied to the planetary exceeds its point of failure and you should look into alternate solutions.
