I think we burned up about 15 of them in 2007 in our lift. That was really the last time we used them. They would only last a couple rounds. Most of the problem was in our design. There weren't many good choices for motors that year. Do not stall them or hold any power on them. They fry quickly.

I think we were using the 540's that year, 775's weren't allowed. I think I still have a box of burned up ones. hahah
