I am a big fan of the Banebots gearboxes. They are great little power packs. But I am worried about them too.

I am working on some analysis that is intended to predict the max torque I would recommend for use on the 42mm and 36mm gearbox.

Note that just because the ratio is available it does not mean that it would be safe to use all the torque available (if you stall the output shaft or impact loaded the gearbox for example).

As I say, I am working on the final recommendations, but my I am leaning toward talking teams out of the 256:1 ratio on the 42mm gearbox and the 125:1 on the 36mm gearbox in applications where the motor can be driven to stall.

More to come.
