If I
recall correctly, the original RS-775-18V had a case short problem after just a few minutes of run time. I can't dig through 15 pages of that thread right now, but somewhere in there someone did a pretty thorough post-mortem of the motor.
This was the eventual solution.
The new 775PRO is not a RS-775-18V. There is a big distinction. I can honestly say that our 775PRO's have run for roughly an hour already as we tuned shooter geometries, and they've been very stable with not even a modicum of excess heat.
With that said, the 775PRO is compatible with the CIM-U-Lator, but I would definitely file/mill/do-what-it-takes to make the air vents, as you mentioned.
