Other than buying a new control system (which come with the 34) is there anything else I would need to buy? Just didn’t know if the mounting of the 34’s required different gears, plates, etc. Thank you for any info.

There will be some new mounting plates for the motors, but we have kits for that.

The “easy button” for this is to contact support using the link up top. They’ll figure out what machine you have, and give you a quote with exactly what you need to do an upgrade if you want.
