Re: Question from a ROOKIE Team

our team has found a couple of ways to keep our jaguars free of shavings. 1. use quick disconnect wiring, so if you have to drill, you can remove the jag. 2. mount the jaguars on the underside of a metal plate. 3. have the entire electronics board removable, so it can be moved away from those nasty metal shavings. any one of these will work, but also check that you are not just overloading the jags! if you were reversing direction frequently (full forward- full reverse) it may burn out the motor/jag/trip circuit breaker. if so, when you open the jag you will not find shavings. just calm down with the driving then! or program in a max delta V for the drivetrain, it can be kind of difficult though. good luck with keeping the rest in working order, hope this helps!
