Re: Gearboxes

You probably wouldn't want to use LAST YEAR's Banebot 56mm transmissions anyway, since Banebots has completely redesigned them for this year. Steel internal gears, different length output shafts, and tie rods to hold the end plates tight to the housing. They mount CIM motors easily, and if you support the end of the output shaft with a bearing, they are very robust. In addition, they have the correct length pins, and the output carrier plate is hardened and now 5mm thick. I fully expected them to be included in the kit, but that didn't happen this year. If we find that we need an inexpensive, quick transmission, single speed application, Banebots is a quick install. All that, and dual CIM's as well. Can't wait to take a look at them.
