Re: Need help ordering a Versaplanetary gearbox

For that application you should be alright, just don't get too adventurous and try to lift anything really heavy with it.

We're doing the same motor and reduction combo but are doing 3 stages (5:1, 5:1, 4:1) since we are hoping to use the arm for assistance in crossing defences, and maybe to try to flip someone back over if ever needed.
