Re: P60 planetaries gearboxes

67 used a P60 (64:1) with RS-545 on the conveyor that feed from the hopper to the shooter. We used this combination to replace a face mounted modified globe motor, to increase available torque.

We experienced no issues with the P60 gearboxes we used through 5 complete competitions. In my opinion the these gearboxes were great in the application we put them in....compact, light weight, easy to assemble, and easy to mount.

We had to replace (4) RS-545 motors during the season, and with a spare P60/RS-545 combo ready to go we could swap them out in about 2 minutes.
