Assuming you drive the wheels off of the MiniCim shaft with no gearbox, then yes, that would be a much cheaper option. You are losing a good bit of power going to a Mini CIM though, so your shots may not go as far as a 775Pro geared to the same speed. The VersaPlenetary (or other Gearbox) opens up your options a lot, but at the cost of money.
