In the past, you could use the kit Banebots motors with whatever gearboxes you wanted.

and it looks like this time they will not be made in Colorado... not Asia like the last ones... I had some bad experiences with these gearboxes back in 2007, the quality of the materials used was atrocious for a gearbox with such a high reduction. I have hope we could see usable high-reduction planetary gearboxes from BaneBots in the future, but I'm not holding my breath.
We all know that with mechanical systems, once all the noise has leaked out, the system quits (therefore quiet running mechanical systems last much longer :^) - KenWittlief [more]
