In terms of being able to handle the load though, would 775 pros motor and gearbox and SPARK motor controller theoretically work?

thanks again guys

Good to know you have somebody to work with, that makes me feel a bit better.
775pros could work, but because of their smaller mass you may face heating issues if you run this thing for a long time. CIMs are much safer and only cost slightly more (and have more reliable stock).
