Thanks for all the help!
I think you've got a scale issue. The 9015 motor is about the size of a prescription bottle, while the CIM is about the size of a Coke can. Neither was made with the Neverest gearboxes in mind, and I'd be shocked if a Neverest gearbox could withstand what a CIM puts out for any length of time. (We use 2-6 of those to drive 150-pound robots.)

What size of robot are you looking to build, either in dimensions or weight? What, if anything, does the arm have to lift? That will help us get you in the right direction.
