Re: Gearing a Rotating Arm

We plan on running a small arm on a cim geared by a versa planetary 100:1. The arm should be done this week and will definitely be tested next week. We may tone the gearing down and if it seems like a situation of durability we may substitute our P80 in. But, It looks like it will be fine. One thing I will see is do not directly drive the axle with the motor. Use chains, belts, or gears. We plan on using gears.
