Assuming the AM 775s are still legal to use, would we be able to take a 775 motor off of the PG71 gearbox and use in a versaplanetary gearbox or would that be considered a modification? I see AM does sell 775s separately.
I can see where all AM 775s are spoken for before 1/9/2016.  |
Yes. The motor is in FIRST Choice, and every year motors that have been in FIRST Choice have been legal.
Note that the AM 775s are MUCH less powerful the the Banebots were. It has about 1/3 of the stall torque, with about 1/3 of the free speed that the banebot had.
