Banebots 775s have always matched the advertised specs for us (modulo case shorting issues in 2011).

Banebots 550s have always provided substantially less torque than advertised for us.

I'll concur with this assessment. We originally used two 550s on our elevator this year only to have them not have enough torque to perform to our expectations. Using the BB specs, it should have been no problem for us.

Ditto for us in 2015.
