Good Point! I TAKE WHAT I SAID BACK. Use an ohmeter or inductance meter instead (im not sure what the readings for these motors should be around, but im sure someone on these forums can tell you. If there is in fact a short BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN. (I normally test motors with a current limited bench power supply and i guess something didn't click in my head about using a battery instead!

) sorry. I feel really stupid now.
