Re: Banebot Transmission Issues

Today myself, 3 students, and two Mechanical Engineer's spent 6 hours reworking the internals of the Banebot tranny's. We had to grind, file, hack, and rub these things to finally get the inner pins and screws from rubbing other parts of the transmission internals. We also had to re-tap some of the screw holes as some came stripped out FROM THE FACTORY.

An off the shelf part is supposed to go together without any trouble, and work. The Banebots transmissions are the farthest thing from that.

And for what we paid for them, it is totally unacceptable.

In my own opinion, they are a large step backwards from what we have been using the last few years.
