Re: RS-775, RS-550, RS-540, or RS-395 Motor Experiences?

The 550 and 775 are similar in power, but far different in weight. For a system that isn't loading the motor much, the 550 could be a better choice. We are making this decision on two specific mechanisms. We're prepared to switch to 775s if necessary, but will try out the lighter motors first.
