Re: [DFTF] Motor & wires...

For us, the BB motor terminals seem a little fragile and have broken off a few times. So now, our process is to crimp a spade terminal on a wire, solder the terminal to the motor (carefully) and then hot-glue the heck out of it to prevent minor contact/vibrating breaking the connection. After we started doing this we have had 0 problems with the motor connections, although we have seen at times that the hot-glue will melt slightly due to the motor heating up so we re-hotglue it and we're good to go.
