Re: Jaguar Heat Sensitivity

In our team's experience, under continual use CIM Motors can get very hot. Hot enough to practically fry an egg on. This would often happen when were trying out drive team, practicing, or in the final paces of a tournament. The acrylic I would believe would dissipate the radiating heat somewhere else, but as far as I know only the CIMs get hot, they don't actually radiate heat like a heatsink for a CPU.
