Of course there is variation from motor to motor but nothing out of the normal manufacturing tolerances (typical for this style of motor is +/-15%).

If you knew what your were doing, those motors were amazing. More power than a Mini-CIM at less that half the weight and volume.

I will serious miss those motors.

The 550 is where I noticed performance differences. We never ran the 775s on anything critical so I'm unsure on them.
