Re: Globe transmission with other motor(s)

Somewhere on CD there's a long thread about the problem with "case shorts" on the RS-775 motors. I disassembled a motor that showed about an ohm resistance between the case and the terminals. The problem that I found was that the insulation on the armature failed and allowed the winding to short to the armature. This is an unacceptable condition in a motor, and many teams have found that their motor(s) are shorted this way. Banebots has not offered to replace them.
