I don't believe that 3946 has ever competed with a Banebots motor. We did, however, trust the specs and try to use one as a mostly horizontal part of our Ultimate Ascent (2013) climber. After smoking it on the very first climb attempt, we wound up replacing it with a CIM - at the same gear ratio. We found Banebots motors to be more properly name Botsbane.
