Re: Buggy BAG Motors

Beware that Vex posted a BAG "fix" that doesn't appear to be correct.
When the fix is applied the springs on ours become too short to work.
Vex tech support told us the fix is not official and shouldn't have been posted.

So just a warning that this probably shouldn't be attempted.
What worries me most is that the "fix" says it:
Quote:
Applies to Production Batches: 2491BL, 2462BL, and 2493BL
The "fix" pdf is posted on the Vex website BAG motor page:
