Really? After 2 hours of driving your CIM motors will be hot, but I have NEVER seen a CIM "burn up" My guess is that your speed controller is shot and your motor is fine.

A simple test is take one of your other speed controllers on your robot and switch the leads to that drive motor and see what it does.


As for the Victor vs Jaguar debate, In my opinion if you are not using CAN there is no reason to use a Jaguar*.




*This opinion has nothing to do with my company affiliation. I never have and never will use a Jaguar when a Victor is an option due to proven reliability.
