Re: Tetrix Motor Fix
Could anyone using the Tetrix fuse protected motor power cable answer a couple questions:

1. Does it prevent burning up the Tetrix motors (eg. live up to its promise)?
2. Does the fuse act like a circuit breaker (eg. when it cools down it works again) or do you need to replace the fuse/power cable once it has prevented a motor stall ($9 vs. $30 for motor)?
3. If it is a "fuse" that is destroyed while preventing damage to the motor; can just the fuse (hopefully less that $9) be replaced on this cable without violating the FIRST rules?

Thanks.
