More options going with the lower motor. Plus more Torque.
Which specs are you looking at when comparing those two motors? I see two conflicting sets of numbers when I look at the motor curves on the KOP website and then compare to the yellow BaneBots Motors page from the kit. The motor curves give lower numbers than the BaneBots sheet. Here is what that sheet lists for RS-775:
No Load: 13000 RPM, 1.8 A
Peak Efficiency: 119 W, 11360 RPM, 12.5 A, 14.2 oz-in.
Stall: 86.7 A, 110.8 oz-in.
Then you go to the site listed on the yellow sheet, www.banebots.com/M7-RS775-18, and you find a third set of numbers.

Does anybody know which numbers are right? The motor curve on FIRST seems wrong.
