We are using the 5:1 banebots gearbox on an FP to power our shooter (8" skyway wheels from KOP). The first pinion gear we tried on the FP cracked... you might want to order some extras.

As for current, it draws about 10 amps and seems pretty happy.... we've run it for a couple of minutes and while it heats up, it never gets hot, stops, smokes or smells "hot". We're going to run it downside of a 20amp breaker so we can use some lighter gauge wire as that makes it easier to feed up to the turret.

P.S. Of course saying all this is a violation of Murphy's law and I stand to be punished. We have four spare FP's waiting to go.... so that means Murphy will blow out the transmission on us.
