There are two ways to look at this: either reduce the torque into the transmission (use a less powerfull motor) or reduce the torque load at the output of the transmission (further reduction and/or counterbalancing)

The FP torque IS what kills the final stage, when full load is applied.

Anyways, it's great to hear that the thing worked!
