While doing some final tweaking on our prototype we came across the need to have a fisher price on a worm gear. We decided to tear apart a '08 keyang window motor and coupled the output shaft of the planetary to the input shaft of the window motor.
Our question now is if this is legal? We plan to put it up on the Q&A but we figured if we could get the window motor off the shelf it would be legal but who knows.

What type of Gearbox is that? I cant seem to find them on AM. If those are GEM 500s than they look so small! Or ours are just old and huge...

That's the old style AM planetary. Same as the one they sell now, just a different housing.

If you can't buy that gearbox anymore, and it was not a past KOP part, then you probably can't use it. But I might be reading the material use rules wrong...how many times have you read them? do you have any fledgling lawyers on your team who might be able to help you figure it out?

Sounds like you can use it then. Thanks for quoting the rule, I should have done that.
