I'll try and report back with whatever news I get as soon as I get it.

Banebots has posted that the P60 transmissions aren't recommended to output more than 35-ft lbs of torque. Anyone who's looking at purchasing either the 64:1 or the 256:1 Transmission should be aware that it is theoretically possible to exceed this torque with an RS775 (I would assume 500 series motors as well, but I haven't run the numbers) at Full Stall so design accordingly...
