Re: Some electrical questions

My grand plan was to take the speed controllers off two vex motor modules I have, and then wire a 6V battery to the speed controllers. I assumed this would work.

I found something interesting out. I just did my same "stall" test with a vex motor module and it drew almost 1.4A. I find that surprising since on the vex website it says "Current Draw (+) Power pin 5mA to about 1 Amp. at stall per Motor."
