Re: Banebot Transmission Issues
While we're on the topic, I'll write out our notes about the big planetaries (included in the KOP) and the dual motor adapters. The "step key" included with the dual motor kit was about 1/16" too long. Also, While it does keep them on, I'm not fond of the pointed set screws in the shaft collars. Also, the screws that hold the planetary body onto the backplate seem weak We broke one. The gears are alright. One of them had a slight bind and is pretty noisy. Not sure where the noise is coming from. When we first ran them, we drew 7.5 amps (at 12V) between two motors. After 15 minutes or so, that was down to 5 amps (for the both).
Use blue loctite on everything.
