Are you seriously ignoring the second best motor in the KOP (following the CIM) just because it has a little, easily avoidable, problem. As far as I can tell, the case shorting does not hinder the motion of the motor directly, it can only cause problems when connected to an improperly isolated frame. I understand that creating a perfectly isolated frame is sometimes difficult and the easiest way to avoid the problem is to isolate the motor, eg, by putting the motor in a plastic housing like a drill motor transmission or even a PF gearbox. I still don't know whether either of the 775s we used last year had case shorts because the way we used them, it didn't matter.
