This is why Fisher Price gearboxes are so awesome. It is a plastic case with plastic gears and it already has both 500 AND 700 size motor compatible mounting holes. The downside is that you have to find the pinion or take the pinion provided on the FP in the KOP and bore it out to fit the 775. Also, the output could be an issue. That being said, it worked brilliantly on our 2011 robot.
