I wouldn't be surprised for it to burn up just like the FP motor, most small high RPM motors will have that same problem. This new motor looks just like a weaker FP motor. You would be better off with approx. twice the torque with the FP motor, and a 42mm banebots gearbox. I am liking this 256:1 42mm gearbox to attach a FP motor for an arm.
