Re: Banebots RS-775 Case Short

Al, I expect that motors with a low resistance short have the problem I encountered, and it's likely that applying a lot of current will melt a wire. But I have no idea if there are other things wrong with other motors. I only had one to take apart. There are a lot of things that can go wrong when building an electric motor within strict cost constraints.
