Post Planetary Gearboxes (where to get them?)
Hey everyone,

I have a current project I'm working on right now that requires a custom planetary gearbox. I plan on CNCing my own housing...but i can't seem to find any sources for single gearbox stages.

I took apart one of these (http://www.andymark.biz/am-0002.html) and i really like the gear stage that AM uses.

My application is an electric long board powered by one of these guys, http://hobby-lobby.com/brushless-axi5330.htm I can heat treat parts if i have to.

I also feel like many first teams would appreciate knowing where they can get gearbox parts if they want to make there own boxes.

Thanks in advance for any help!!
