Re: Prefabbed Drive Train

  • We are using the dedicated 12V port on the PDB, along with the 12v-5v dc-dc converter.
  • There are no shorts to the frame.
  • Our lowest reading with a DMM directly from the Talons power side (not motor side) was 8.7V. A very noticeable dip which would give serious indication we are experiencing a huge current draw, which is why I'm here.
  • Gears are lubed
  • Yes, battery was fresh, each time.
