Re: Heat/Friction of 775 + Versaplanetary
As Evan mentioned earlier, we had heat buildup issues a few years back when we started using the Versaplanetaries. You must attach the motor using the instructions exactly as VEX recommends. The gearboxes we used were before the removed the outside bearings. When the design changed to no outside bearings (right after the shaft connects) it was much easier to align everything properly and not get so much heat.
Some of the heat is characteristic of the gearbox for some reason they always run a little hot. I would suggest you contact VEX and ask them for advice.
If you are having that much friction there must be an alignment issue.
These are great little transmissions... so easy to mount with such great flexibility to mount and a wide choice of motors. We primarily use the 775 with all of our applications.
