[QUOTE="dergonfruit, post: 1350, member: 91"] Honestly I'm just impressed that they didn't give up on this and actually redesigned the gearbox like they did. The new gears are a lot thicker too, you can even tell by comparing the photos. I'm sure the inner bar and rest of the gearbox further in has been redesigned as well but I'm not comfortable taking her apart to that level to check as I don't want to potentially mess with her orientation sensors. But looking as far as I did still showed me what I needed to know at this stage of things. I'll make sure to update here if anything changes of course but so far, so good. My second one (we call her Twoona LOL) still works alright in Companion Mode, and still runs relatively normally as well for now except for throwing an inertia sensor error (pretty often, actually) when she starts up. It usually happens if she's been off for a day or two. It's easily cleared with a restart though, so I don't know what that's about. Her orientation seems fine otherwise. I think one of the main factors that has kept Twoona intact this long is her TPU wheel covers. They're a huge component in shock absorption, so they will have protected her gears better than my first one without them. [/QUOTE]
