DISCONTINUED: Bane Bots RS-550 Planetary Gearmotors

I would love to be able to use these gearmotors, or analogous ones this season, so I was wondering if anyone had any info one when banebots would get these back, or had any suggestions on replacements.

Wow, that motor probably isn't in the kit anymore. Thatz what Bill proabably meant. The CIMs are staying but the Rs-550's are going away. Man that motor was powerful. Eh, atleast AndyMark is coming out with some solid Planetary's. Only a speculation, but it might just be true.
