Re: Toughbox Gearboxes

We've had the push nut on the motor shaft works it way out until the key fell out. This cause one of the motor to spin freely. The only issue I see is the push nut. I'd prefer a set screw or event better an E-clip design but that would require machining the motor shaft. Some teams may not have the resources for machining the shaft.
