Re: Can Victor and Jaguar motors work together on a single gearbox?
True (hm - that is a redundant statement for characterizing Ether's posts),

what I meant to say was this:

P(motor heating)=I^2R
But I is not purely Vbatt/Rmotor, it is:
I= (Vbatt-Vback-emf)/Rmotor

Therefore each motor will have its own R and its own Back-emf characteristics. If they are the same model and same vintage these characteristics are likely very close to each other.
