Pre-grease only. Tried to spin from power supply to break in the motors, pulled way too much power for a single stage. Tried to spin by hand, knew something wasn't right. Found one planet siezed. Swapped in another 3:1 and it's much smoother, but we haven't put any load on it yet. Recently purchased after kickoff.
