Geared to the same speed as the RS 775, the RS 550 has very close to the same stall torque. Max power is the important factor and while, yes, the 775 definitely has it beat, I love how small the 550 is
Maybe not the best factor to base motor choice on. Especially considering heat dissipation. I just love the ability to swap out a BAG or AM motor for a 550 with very little hassle.
