Yes the ones we used last year must have been the 36mm ones, I wish i took a picture of the number of destroyed planetary gears we had. When we opened one of them there were small goldish metal filings which fell out of the gearbox's, these filings were the teeth of the small planetary gears . That is why I said we were interested in these new revisions of the gearbox's, with hopefully better performance.
