Neither of our 775s caused an issues, and I think its because they were both electrically insulated from the chassis. This year we will be mounting them on wood or lexan panels to keep them isolated.
Then again, I might be totally off in this evaluation.

In some cases I saw, the short was transmitted through the gears/sprockets as well. Don't rely only on the mounting material to keep you safe, and come with a backup plan if you run into problems!
