Re: Runaway CIM motors

Thank you for your input,

We did order another Victor and plan to switch our drive motors to the Vics and our arm motor with the Jag. Without a "true root cause", we loosened the drive chains slightly to relieve some load on the motor. We had averything running OK yesterday, except for 1 side down without a controller. Our student morale picked up with the successes we did see and a game plan to get our new friend rolling.

Now, if we can just keep the jags from smoking...
