We agreed, the reason the circuit was reassembled is we were trying to reconstruct the problem in the lab(rather than when driving). We removed all of our drive electronics and then tested them one thing at a time. We checked for shorts to ground as well as abnormal resistances in motors, and victors. We then added our components together until the whole control system was rebuilt. We are hoping the issue was just with the victors (as Pat said we are contacting IFI). We will update if we find anything else.
