Are you sure you were using the VersaPlanetaries correctly? I've used them a number of times without problems and I've pretty much only heard good things about them. Were you properly greasing them? Did you check the max loading guide before choosing a reduction? Did you assemble them in highest to lowest reduction order? Did you support the end of the shaft?
