You really believe that? The drill motors this year have a stall amperage draw around 90 amps (that's from memory; someone correct me if I'm wrong). It will take several seconds for the 40 amp breaker to trip at that draw. So there's a good chance of drawing over 70 amps at some point during a match. There's probably a good chance of damaging the 883's with that kind of current draw (I haven't looked a the spec sheet lately however). Or maybe InnovationFIRST just needs more money.
