P60 gearmotor pinion strength
I'm deciding which P60 gearboxes to get for a build, and right now I'm leaning towards the 16:1 or 20:1 ratio gearboxes. Ideally, I would use the 20:1 ratio, but I noticed that the first stage of the 20:1 gearbox is a 5:1 reduction and uses a smaller pinion than the 16:1. I remember hearing people complain about the small pinions being a failure point in the banebots gearboxes with 5:1 first stages. Is this still an issue with the P60s? I'm wondering if there is a significant difference in durability between the 16:1s and the 20:1s.
