I reckon it'd work mighty-fine, and be a good deal stronger than a P60, due to the all-steel 20DP gears. Anyone agree? I take it's rather easy to modify the AM planetary motor plate to accept the 775?

My intuition says that it'll work fine. 75lb-ft at the arm joint? o.O remember that the RS775 (or any motor) won't put out "stall torque" for any appreciable amount of time, it's breaker will trip.
