Re: small banebot motor with 64:1 gearbox
so one last question in my never ending struggle of finding the right arm motor, can the fisher price mini bike motor can go through the same gearbox that the CIMs go through? if this is true than my work is practically done for me:

2700 rpm -> 45rps

12:1 gearbox -> 3.75rps

the 4:1 attachment -> ~1 rps

some procket reductions (1 or 2) and its at a reasonable speed!

the minibike motor seems like its CIM ish enough to fit in one of those, but we are already using both of our gearboxes for the drive and cant test to see if it works cause its already assembled. it would be nice to know if it would work before we buy the gearbox.
