I needed to speed up the output shaft, so I tapped out the pins holding the planetary gearbox on, removed one of the reduction stages, made a spacer for the shaft, and tapped the pin holes and screwed it back together. I am guessing this is legal because it's legal to remove the gearbox. Any ideas?
You may modify and build your own gear boxes. It is only the "motor" part that you may not modify. Just to ask, how much of a speed increase did you get? Our globe is running a little slow as well...
