First Test was 2.28 KG at 10 CM, the Gearbox completed this with no problem.

Next was 2.28 KG at 20 CM, the Gearbox completed this with no problem

Finally I attempted 2.28 KG at 20 CM, the Gearbox did this fairly well. When doing this test at speed it was very noticeable that the outer casing of the Gearbox was flexing, I am assuming this was caused by the Circular Spline flexing. This caused the Teeth of the FlexSpline to skip occasionally. 

Before I could further test the mount for the 2040 Aluminum snapped under the load.

I will be making this stronger and completing more tests very soon.
