Re: Number of FP Motors

one other option is to remove the gearbox on the globe and replace it with a modified banebots gearbox or modified dewalt gearbox or modified fp am planetary gearbox. This isnt a simple fix but despite to many peoples knowledge the globe motor is actually a pretty useful motor once the gearbox is removed. i beleive its around 11000 rpm. however i am not 100% sure this is legal but i see no specific reason why it wouldnt because your not modifing the motor just the gearbox. we are currently facing a similar issue with our robot but we still have the two fp to use if we need too.

Mcmaster doesnt sell the same kind of belt as gates belt in the kit . Since gates isnt a distributer, we got our extra belts from motion industrials who were very helpful and provided a product that was not stocked at there location the same day.
