Take the "Bane" out of your Banebot P60s - Solution to Banebot P60 Weaknesses

Here's another way to take the Bane out, if you have room to do it:

Instead of 326:1, use a 64:1 with 5:1 external gearing (or sprockets or pulleys or winch etc). This will reduce the torque load on the tiny P60 by a factor of 5.
