Fitted a drill motor with the torque limiter.

What broke or didn't work:
The gear box was a little loose (internally) as it didn't have the correct number of spacers and the mount caused it to not be able to be tightened completely, so this meant the torque limiter wasn't working completely (it was on the tightest setting on the video)
This looseness meant one of the pins for the gears came out, which jammed the gear box and caused a partial gear chip on the middle gear holder due to uneven load, and the weld broke holding the gear onto the motor as I ground it down to much, will try a different attachment method.
So over all I think is fixable, and means i can change the torque limiter next time so it doesn't loose all its power in the swing, as it felt so much slower than last time, and decreased in speed quiet a bit at the beginning, but im not sure what caused that.
but it was not caused by the battery.
