Re: 775 pro performance and break in
We're using 775pros with VersaPlaneteries in multiple places with no problem really (3:1, 30:1, and 100:1). The 3:1 goes into a 1:1.2 driving 4" AndyMark Stealth Wheels. At about 7k RPM (at the wheels), we're seeing about 10A current draw, which is right in line with the spec sheet. It gets pretty hot after 10 minutes of continuous usage, but that is completely reasonable. I can check with our students, but I don't think they did anything particularly special when putting together the planeteries.
