Banebots hasn't publicly said that (I think), but I'd venture to say the same thing.

I've used many of the gearboxes in many applications, and the originals were terrible quality; terrible screws, terrible casting on the plates (often there were pockets in it), holes not always tapped correctly, etc...

I hope the new line is substantially improved and reliable, but I'm not getting my hopes up. I'll wait and see.
