Re: Banebot P60 Help

Some suggestions:

Run the motor/transmission when disconnected from your collector. If it still behaves the same, disassemble and look for debris mixed in with the grease. We had a plastic chip get into the gearbox and made it behave similarly.

Run the motor from a bench power supply, if you have one. With a 26:1 banebots transmission and an RS550, we see about 2.8 Amps with no load. Note that it will start 1/2 to 1 amp higher, and slowly drop down as the gears wear in a bit. If you see a higher current, you may have the internal binding that someone else mentioned.
