Correct. it is also worth noting that the 10:1 carrier plate fails at 100 N-M while a stalled 775pro with a 100:1 reduction will develop only 71 N-M at stall neglecting the inefficiencies of the stages needed to develop the 100:1 reduction. in other words, unless you use the dual input stage or use a motor and gearbox combination not recommended by vexpro it should not be possible to develop the torque necessary to break the ring gear on a VP.

Also as someone who managed to accidentally stall a 775pro into a 100 to 1 versa (10:1 and 10:1) this season, I can attest that the 775pro will fail before the versa will.
