Re: RS775 Gearboxes

You'd have to knurl the 550 shaft to press on the FP pinion I think.

I don't know why you'd want to do that given that the 2011 FP motor has a higher free speed and higher torque that the 550 and already has the pinion pressed onto it...

Edit: If memory serves the RS775 shaft would be big enough to drill out the FP pinion and use the RS775 in the FP gearbox, though drilling new mounting holes would be a PITB. Food for thought.
