Re: New Banebots p80 Improvements

We used four P80 3:1 gearboxes with 4" wheels. Speedy, but not very torquey. But it was a race, right? We could nearly get 6 lines in Hybrid.

The only complaint/comment was that the actual CIM motor housing diameter is slightly larger than the 2.5" gearbox dimension, so you can't lay the motor-gearbox assembly on a flat plate, without recessing a slot for the motor to recess down into. It only takes about 1/16, but without it, the moter gets cocked up at a slight angle.
