The VersaPlanetary does not have a 2:1 gear ratio kit/stage, the smallest is 3:1. I think it will be difficult for you to get a 2:1 gearbox for the 775pro. If it's for a shooter a 3:1 should also work, depending on planned wheel size and your strategy. If you want something that you can swap with a mini-cim/ lots of motors the VersaPlanetary is the best choice. Also remember that the 775pro spins more than 3 times faster than the mini-cim, so you'll want to factor this in when working out your required gear-ratios

I strongly suggest that you do not do this, it is a really really bad idea
