Anyway, great tip, although I'm not sure I'd trust those drill gearboxes in low gear. They tend to like to come apart.

On a similar note, anyone stick a 775 in a Dewalt gearbox yet?
Yes, it fits perfectly. I have yet to do serious load testing, but given that the dewalt can handle a CIM's torque, I think it'll do just fine with a 775.

Edit: it also tolerates the input of two FP motors with additional gearing down quite robustly.
