Re: Polycarbonate side plates for lighter gearboxes

In fact, the delrin was a little bit warpet because it was such a large piece (9"x 6" I believe). We only used delrin because we mounted Banebot 775s to it and that way we didn't have to worry about the cases shorting to the frame.
Please do not do this. It WILL NOT SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS. The case will still short, just through the metal gears instead. You most likely got lucky with your 775s
