If you are replacing the CIM in your drive with a Large CIM and/or FP, it might be alright, but otherwise I'd suggest looking for an alternative arm solution that does not sacrifice your existing abilities.
Some alternatives for the 42mm Banebots include:
KoP FP gearbox (it may be a bit big and clunky, but it works better than anyone gives it credit for, I believe it is a 128:1 reduction)
AM Planetary then reduced further by an AM single speed (46.793:1 reduction, can accept two motors)
DeWalt XRP transmission (3-speed; 47:1, 15:1, or 12:1 reductions) |
Our Drive will be just fine.
We are swapping out one small CIM and adding in a large CIM and a FP in the AM planetary. We just slightly above traction limited now.
