Please explain.

This application is within the load ratings of the VP gearbox for this application. I have a hard time believing that they'll have a problem considering how many VP gearboxes my team has run at the edge of what they're rated for (and sometimes past). Suffice it to say the VPs have taken every ounce of use and abuse we could throw at them and still work great.
