And I just talked to them yesterday, they have 1000's in stock. Look for my recommendation or my non-recommendation early next week. I have no connection to these guys at all, I just found them on ebay a while back while looking for stuff for Robotic Amusements.
Joe, which of the 20:1 gearboxes would mate with the FP motor? Would I need to replace the pinion? Does Bane's pinion mate with the FP shaft?

Thanks!
