Re: pitch of FP motor pinion gear
We took apart a 2010 gearbox, and discovered that the hole in the second gear is an octagon, not a hexagon. This affected our gearbox design...we decided to use two first stage gears in series insted of a first gear then a second gear, so we could use hex shaft for the output shaft.
