Re: PID How to hold an arm in a fixed position without a locking gear box

In the past it has been a rule that only one motor may be attached to a Victor 884, however the rules seem to leave that open to interpretation this year. All I can say is that it's a very bad idea, as at stall torque the current draw of two CIMs well exceeds the rating of the Victor 884 and you'd be likely to see magic smoke at least once before the end of a regional...

Ask yourself this: Would you rather buy one extra victor and plan in the few ounces extra, or continually replace burned out victors because they overload and release magic smoke every few matches?
