Well... looking at that picture, then, and hearing another report of this having happened, this may well be a design issue that AndyMark may wish to address in future toughbox/gearbox designs. Like you say, it is easy to fix... when you have the motors out.

Fortunately the biggest design advantage of the toughbox over previous KOP gearboxes is how easily the motors come out. In most cases teams can pull their motor without pulling the gearbox.

We'll keep our eyes open for this... we may even be able to check it out through the lexan panel.
