We actually used a 545 in a P60 gearbox for each side of our drivetrain in 2008 (after running the numbers the limited friction that year allowed the banebots motors to slip the wheels well below stall while providing a high enough top speed for us). They held up extremely well and I don't believe we had a single problem with them, though they ran a little hot (our robot did have trouble turning but that was poor wheelbase design, not a fault of the motors). Allowed us to free up CIMs for use in our shooter and reduce weight for our robot.

I know our team will be considering their use for arms this year, since the tubes don't weigh a large amount.
