Re: RS-550 current draw

At 7A draw, you are at less than 7% of stall. You are drawing 84W of electrical power, and outputting ~61W of mechanical power (taking a quick look a the speed/torque curve). So there is 23W of heat being generated. However, your motor is spinning at pretty close to its full speed, so it will be cooling itself pretty well.

You ought to be fine. That said, why bother running your shooter for all 2+ minutes? You are likely to be shooting for a fairly small portion of that.
