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

We actually used a 545 in a P60 gearbox for each side of our drivetrain in 2008 (after running the numbers the limited friction that year allowed the banebots motors to slip the wheels well below stall while providing a high enough top speed for us). They held up extremely well and I don't believe we had a single problem with them, though they ran a little hot (our robot did have trouble turning but that was poor wheelbase design, not a fault of the motors). Allowed us to free up CIMs for use in our shooter and reduce weight for our robot.

I know our team will be considering their use for arms this year, since the tubes don't weigh a large amount.

So the kit includes the 18v model of the 775, not the 12v as the curve sheet online suggests? There's a big difference between ~550w and ~90w

It includes the 18v. Look at the curve sheet provided with the motor to get the specs running at 12v for the 18v motor

My mistake, I guess it would be ~367w. Still much greater than the online curve sheet. Guess I should've looked at the one included in the kit

By looking at the specs for all the BB motors we think we want to use the 775's but I'm having problems finding the right gearboxes. Can you use the P60's with the 18V 775's or do you have to use something else?
