Re: Tips for KitBot

The gearboxes can be very good, but be sure to assemble them with plenty of LockTite. If you don't, they will comeaprt, and they will jam. We had this happen a couple of times, and total, from three gearbox jams, we found five pieces of loose hardware inside. For some reason, the stuff in there is attracted to the gears.

Also run the gearboxes in for about ten minutes straight. They'll run a lot better for it.
