Re: Victor Burnouts

Now that we know they were shorted. Kris Verdeyen mentioned a closed FET as a sign of static electicity. Is it possible your wheels are generating static electicity, and the high voltage made it's way to the wheel's speed controller's FETs? Also, what were the speed controlers connected to when they failed? Just the wheels or an arm or roller?
