Re: 775 pro likely to pop breakers?
This depends on a variety of factors but the short answer is if the motor is stalled under 100% power for an extended period, it will likely trip the breaker and will eventually puff up in smoke.
Whether or not this stall condition is likely to happen depends on a few things - gear ratio, loading, etc - and what stalls a BAG motor at a certain reduction may or may not stall a 775. A 775 geared to a lower reduction that matches the speed of the BAG motor will have more torque due to the higher power of the motor, so it's possible you won't have the stalling problem you do now.
But if you think your intake will still stall even with a different motor / ratio, the 775pro is not a motor designed to be stalled at full power for extended periods. But how does your intake work at all if it is consistently stalling?
