Re: Versaplanetary 3:1 and others sold out
The VP uses mount holes on a 2" diameter circle. So does the CIM. This is not a coincidence, and the VP *can* be a drop-in replacement for a CIM and vice-versa.
As a result, you can use VEX's CIM-ile. It takes a 775PRO and gives it a spur gear reduction, and is a drop-in replacement for your VP's and CIM's. It gives you the output RPM of a CIM - slightly less than a 3:1 VP but definitely more than a 5:1 VP.
AndyMark sells a CIM-mounted encoder, if you need to replace the VP encoder.
We went to CIM-iles because one of our 3:1 reductions is a bit less efficient than the other, and we've stripped 2 of the VP 775 collars. These motors are so durn powerful...
