Re: What do you think of the jaguars?

We use two Jags. One for each side of the drive-train. Everywhere else we are using victors. We have had no failures of either the Jags or the Victors on either our comp bot or practice bot. I will say this, we mount all of our speed controllers vertically above our drive motors. This ensures the minimal amount of particulate to fall into the enclosure of the Jag. One key difference between the Jag and the Victor, the Jag does not have a conformal coating, the Victor does. I believe that this is a contributing factor to the number of failures seen.
