I think you'd need something like 120:1 in order to match the steering RPM of the AndyMark module, but I didn't want a 3rd VersaPlanetary stage because I felt that put the BAG motor too close to the ground.

Have you considered putting an idler gear on there and doing one reduction in the spur gear stage? Probably a bit more weight and part count but it would give you some flexibility.
