When we run both sets at full speed, we max out at probably 10 feet with our 8 foot height but are never able to go above 8 feet and can never get farther than probably 15 feet if we do not go for a high basket.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and if you have any questions feel free to ask.

Why do you go through two reductions via gearboxes? For our shooter, we have our 775's going into our CIM-U-LATORs and then directly driving our wheels. We get perfect power, distance, and control over the ball, and have yet to find a problem.
Pro tip: If using this setup, never run the motors at 100% power. 85% power works beautifully, and won't destroy the motors (or the balls).
