Same here: "If it is an issue for your application it can easily be eliminated by passing a modest amount of current from the terminal to the case."

As far as I'm concerned, this is not a FIRST legal motor if it conducts current to ground. Worst customer support of any FIRST KOP supplier. I hope First thinks twice before using these motors in KOP again.
