You have to get creative during Ri3D There is no such thing as ordering that one specialty component that you need, and it's financially impossible to plan for everything. We also wanted to put them in the versa planetaries for the adjustability in case we weren't satisfied with 1:1.

Just to be clear, running 4 inch wheels at a 1:1 ratio from a mini cim controlled down to 50% speed will stall. It needs to have that built up speed for it to intake. The great thing is, that ridiculous speed doesn't cause the wheels to slip on the boulder. If you touch it, you own it, and it makes a seriously cool sound when you intake.
