This. The performance of the RS550 never matches its data sheet. We stopped using the RS550 in the middle of 2014 when we had numerous 550s fry in our shooter (not really due to the lacking power). The RS775-18 is a superior motor, with power ratings that are actually accurate. I would encourage teams to look at using them instead.
