This project has evolved some , the basic rundown is I'm modding two Omnibots , one a regular the other a larger 2000 model. I will have two ezb kits , rad base idea was thrown out because of so much noise but could go back on the table if the omnibot drivetrain is too weak to pull it.

Hey Troy , the gears Robotmaker was suggesting I upgrade is the huge 5 to 1 gear on the shoulder which delrin came with the kit free , it's 35 extra each for the metal replacement gear. The little delrin.gears you sent are perfect! Speaking of the gears , the motors robotmaker sent me have brass pinions heat set on. All I can think of to protect the motor is to carefully cut this gear off the shaft.
Have you tried heating and prying? The gear itself I mean.
you need a pinion puller kit very cheap on ebay,wont damage the motor by prying

That's a good point. Cheap enough to have handy for other projects.
Meh, IM pretty awesome with a dremel so I will cut them off so I can get this gearbox modified now =) I'll post before and after soon as I cut it off.
LOL Tim the Toolman!
Good news , the yusa 12v batteries are going to Jarvis jr vacuum omnibot. I know power sonic batteries are always underrated for their size and model. For example the 12v 7ah 6 pound battery is actually guaranteed to be 12v 9ah and still weight 6 pounds. If you had a total of 4 of these batteries it is like having 5 yusa comparable batteries. 4x 9ah =36 ah of available power.
Oh 4 of those batteries shipped are 87 dollars by the way , but I do want long run times.
