Re: opening up the BaneBot gearbox to install the CIM motor
You won't be able to tighten it up sufficiently if you use a 3/32" hex key. Better to get a 2.5mm key.

Also, the bolts that hold the motor to the plate take a 4mm key.

Also - beware that on several transmssions the black spacer that goes between the CIM motor and the pinion gear is a bit too long. Grind or turn it down by 1mm or so before installing it.
