Re: Better Battaries for Driver Pratice

you might want to reduce your driving time a bit to allow all of the motors to cool and be sure you don't damage anything. Depending on which motors you are using and what kind of loads they are seeing, you may be generating a lot of heat.

we are using window motors for our lift arm, and even with a gas assist on the lift we limit ourselves to about 8 - 10 minutes of practice time before letting everything cool.
