You can get similar performance running a CIM or MiniCIM at a 1:1 ratio (the performance characteristics of a 775pro are almost identical to a CIM when geared to the same RPM). If you need to use the planetary for output shaft or mounting reasons, you could also just get a CIM Adapter for it. Since you're currently only planing on running the 775s at 60% you have a bit of margin to play with as far as RPM goes.


Just a suggestion.
