what kind of reduction are you using?? cause I'm sure it will help, we are about to test tomorrow if our arm can lift the ball up and we have a double stage reduction of about 4:1 and it can carry a 10 pound weight pretty easily

I don't have any numbers for you, but I'm pretty sure reductions can fix any problems you might be having!!
