You think the torque of your motor is stupid .

I have access to a machine shop at UCI (University of California, Irvine), where I go to school. Outrunners feature removable shafts, so I simply took the shaft out of the motor, and turned it from 5mm to 1/8". When it still had the 5mm shaft, I was running mod1 gears. Now with the 1/8" shaft, I occasionally have a problem with stripping 32p gears, and would strip out 48p spurs all the time.
