You could do this on your drivetrain
Some numbers to consider:

CIM stalled at 60* amps generates ~325 watts of waste heat

775-18 stalled at 60* amps generates ~500 watts of waste heat.

Has anyone run a test to see how long a 775-18 can be stalled at 60 amps before it smokes?

EDIT: see this post: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...&postcount=237


*per the datasheet, 40 amp MX5 can sustain 60 amp for up to 47 seconds
