Re: FP ok to stall?
The only thing that makes me consider this is that when I have seen FP motors go to smoke, they have been at 100% power and stalled for at least 2 seconds. By running them at 30%, the motor would be drawing significantly less power.
I'm just wondering if anyone has tried running the FP at less than full power and still fried it?
(If not, I can resort to destructive testing but I rather ask here first)
