I'll have to tell the electrical people about the fuses but I'm almost defenitley sure that this year the stall current is 70 amps (compared to 57 from previous years, i think thats what your thinking of). You can check some posts in this forum about the stats.

Regardless, I really dont understand how it could fry itself so completely in 2 or 3 seconds. What insulation burning off were you referring to?
