They are FP motors into 64:! planetary gearboxes.

FYI; eric has been entirely right with every single one of his responses/guesses in all 973 threads so far. I'd take his word in future ones.

We used the Banebots gearboxes because they were much easier to mount and interface. We made sure to stay away from the higher reduction models though.

Just remember, I was on 330 during the 2005 and 2007 seasons, when we used this arm design...

Our favorite mounting tactic was to position the hole for the axle of the stock gearbox in such a way that the flat portion of the gearbox was against the mast section, then use an octagon in the output to finish holding it and then hose clamp the output around the octagon. Hey, it worked.
