Thanks for your time.

We mixed jaguars and victors on our 6 motor drivetrain last year. 2 Victor 888s and 1 jaguar per side.

While it works, we noticed the jaguar motors working much harder than the Victor ones, and had to write some code to rebalance everything. The jaguar motors were heating up while the Victor motors weren't.
