We think we could figure it out and be OK. But bottom line, we don't want anyone to shy away from picking us (or accepting an invitation) in St Louis because we are sporting the same drivetrain that failed us twice this season.

Oh yeah I could see how that could be a problem. It would be an interesting offseason project to see how robust a 775Pro (or other similar motor) based drivetrain could be, and what the full scope of possibility is for them (two-speed? An absurd number of motors? PTO? Other stuff I haven't thought of yet?).
