The jag worked fine for a probably at least 15-20 total minutes of robot run time before failing and one that was directly subbed for it has lasted for a minimum of 1-2 hrs of drivetime without failing.

The jag that failed drove one side on the stock KOP drivetrain, lowered 6 wheel drive with 8" andymark rubber wheels. Driving just the middle wheels with 1 CIM per side though a CIMple and 12:26 sprocket ratio.
Yea it is pretty much the same thing happening to us. Any ideas how you fixed this besides just putting another in. We have tried that twice and both failed.
