As for modifying, consider that any motor or transmission with a cim shaft output can drive this. If these turn out to be robust (per the question about how the thrust load is handled) then it's pretty neat what you can do with it with COT's components. Utilizing versa planetaries will result in just about any speed you can imagine.
