Re: Hot Motors

ok, as an add on to my previous post about coolant spray, you do not want to add on so much that it drips or creates frost, thus avoiding what al warned about. and also, if you decide to use it, remember after running the motor for a long time, give it a rest, while the coolant spray might cool things down on the outside, the inner workings need to cool as well. and this shouldnt be a permanent fix for after every match. for instance, in the quater, semi, and finals, the fisher price motor that we use for our vacuum pump overheats a lot, almost to the point where in some matches before we caught on to the problem, it just didnt work.

just a heads up for anyone trying the spray coolant method
