Re: Banebots RS-775 Case Short

I took apart a 775 last year, and found the cause of the "case" short. Nothing is shorted to the case, the winding is shorted to the armature. Since they haven't fixed the problem this year, I have no confidence in the motor.

We used the 540/550 BB motors and gearboxes in previous years, when the gearboxes were provided in the kit. They worked fine for us.

We can find other ways to make things move.
