Re: RS775 In Drivetrain?

My only personal experience w/ the RS775's is we used them on our shooter head drive wheel to accelerate & shoot those foam basketballs a few years back (one on each side, 1 running forward / 1 reverse on a large wheel in CAN w/ Black Jaguars), and they sometimes made some pretty flames mid- match. YES real fire, not just the magic smoke (we replaced quite a few that season I remember), until we made the mounts huge Alum. heatsinks to bleed off enough heat from the motors (so, in the end there was no real wt. savings in the end result, over using CIMS or mini-Cims).

And they were not constantly reversing direction often as in a drivetrain (or at all), just momentarily stalling of the wheel, as the fed balls made contact, and they were running very hot. Cooling them is very necessary if you do choose that route....Might also want to keep a fire extinguisher really handy while using them to drive weight this year, if that ends up your final choice. Just a suggestion.

They sure made those basketballs fly though, w/ real good backspin too! That Mid-Field Beam Though...Ugggh! Cracked every weld on that 2 sided bot repeatedly.
