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

In Lunacy we used two BaneBots motors for our belted collector and loved them (or at least I did). We did blow one motor in the offseason, but that was after driving it for many, many, many hours at demos. Overall, though, they had all the torque we needed for a subsystem and were quite small.

I doubt anyone has ever used them in their drive train.

What I would watch, though, is the gearboxes for them. In 2009 there was no issue with the BaneBots motors, but in 2010 we used a BB planetary gearbox on our FP motor (very high ratio, something like 144:1 I think) and it kept tearing itself to pieces. Who knows if they changed their tolerances or if the GBs simply aren't as good for the FP.
