The BB 56mm gearbox was actually VERY robust once the properly hardened carrier plates were installed. Banebots did a great job of standing behind their product and while there may have been a problem with the gearboxes when they shipped, those that were properly updated were as trouble-free as any gearbox at the competitions. I can think of lots of reasons to use them again... they make a great direct-drive gearbox, among other reasons.

It looks like the new P8 gearbox on the banebots web site is essentially the same thing as the 56mm gearbox from last year, although available in a variety of different configurations.

However the person above who suggested this needs to go to the Q&A forum has the correct advice... while you can get guidance and advice from Chief Delphi, you can only get answers on the rules and interpretations from the Q&A.
