Another option is a Browning 3201 gearbox. The ME0907 should bolt directly to it. They have a built in thrust bearing, 97% overall efficiency including bearings and seals, 10,000 hours MTBF and come in 10 different gear ratios. To me, a single component that handles everything (reduction, thrust, motor mount, etc.) helps keep it simple.

I've decided to use timing pulley's/belts or sprockets and chain along with captured roller/thrust bearings but am having a tough time sourcing them. I wouldn't be opposed to a gear reduction either provided a "bullet proof" reputation. The motor of choice is the ME0907 for it's lack of brushes, performance, and affordability. By my calc's a 2:1 to 2.5:1 reduction will be needed to maximize performance. Any ideas would be appreciated.
