Re: Custom Gearboxes

Thanks for all your input and suggestions.

Since we have limited machining access, we will use the VersaPlanetary Gearboxes for now. They seem to be the best for applications like this considering how little space we have. With our 21:1 ratio with 2x RS775s, we are planning to use a dual motor input, then a 7:1 kit, and a 3:1 kit above that. Our output shaft will likely be 1/2" hex since I've heard that spools can be easily attached to that.

Also I'd like to know how other other teams' methods on making/mounting winches. Any particular products proven reliable? Links to sources and certain products would help greatly as well.
