What if all you had were the drill motors? You would be forced to figure out a way to use them. When the drive train is correctly designed, you can use the chalupas, FP or the drill motors (last year's or this year's) and still run without tripping breakers, at high speed and maximum torque for the motor.
From the spec sheets...
SB=376 watts out@9000RPM@ 56% eff. 398 in. oz.
CH=321 Watts out@2750 RPM@ 49% eff. 151 in. oz.

Fiqure out the torque on the SB if you geared it to the same speed as the chalupa. Take a look at the FP specs too!

BTW I mixed up the Bosch and Chalupa in my previous post. The above references are the correct relationship. The Bosch is the higher speed motor. Sorry for the mixup.
