Anyone know Of ... A PLANETARY In-Line gearbox that mounts to a typical 4274 or so Brushless 5mm shaft @ 3/1 or 4/1 ratio ?

Been on the web searching for hours and while gearboxes are out there, motor/box combos ..... Not found any direct or obvious info on said subject for an 1/8 scale size rig ?

My second Kraton parts build is going "Fun Crawler" bias and feel MUCH lower gearing needed and doing so at motor with a planetary seems to make the most sense.

Thanks for any help :oops:
 
Many hours more research .... Found a route to hopefully get where wanting to go with this project :unsure:

Planetary gearboxes purpose built for a R/C Crawler mounting as a single output on lets cal it 500/600 series motors be them Brushed or Brushless came down to 2 versions. One being an @ 3/1 reduction Ratio having 3.175mm input and output shaft sizing.
Second an @ 5/1 reduction Ratio with 3.175mm input and 5mm output which is what is wanted (y) SO WE ORDER it at @ $28 landed

Now the issue is a Brushless motor in the footprint of a 500/600 can brushed motor, which uses the same bolt pattern as the larger motors we currently use in these 6S rigs.
Being I've been forced to go 5/1 reduction, lets KV up a tad from the 1400/1800 range I had been thinking. We settle for a 2250KV Outrunner design sold as a CRAWLER motor with a 2S to 4S rating. Again about $30 landed

If this works out we will have a Plug-N-Play motor that can have a full power direct drive for Bashing / Racing or substantially geared down Crawler motor for more casual playing around.

I know the motor is a 1/10 scale, but geared down to 5/1 ratio For low intensity crawling / low speed use I'm banking it will be just fine.
