Seeing as those are P60s and Banebots themselves lists the maximum torque as 35 ft-lbs, versus 115 ft-lbs for a VP 1/2" hex shaft (or 72 ft-lbs for a 7:1 or up stage) I'd say you're only about 50% correct there. The P80s at 85 ft-lbs are about on par with the VPs, but then again they're twice as big.

eedoga, go with the Versaplanetaries. Banebots gearboxes in high torque applications are just asking for heartbreak. And VPs are MUCH easier to tweak into different motor or gearing configurations.
