Victors verses Jaguars?

This is false. Although you -can- run window motors with jaguars, most teams experience serious problems doing so. The reason is that the linear output current of jaguars in conjunction with the torque necessary to turn a window motor engages their locking pins, in turn locking the entire physical system. For more details of just why exactly this happens, I suggest turning to Ether or a mentor who's much better acquainted with this situation than me.

That being said, there are numerous threads regarding the pros and cons of victors and jaguars. It ultimately boils down to reliability v features, respectively. In my two years I've witnessed the death of nary a Victor, and stared in disbelief at a Jaguar shipment with a 60%+ out-of-box failure rate, not to mention a Jaguar going up in magical blue sparks for no good reason (no shorts, no scrap metal debris, no physical damage unless it was from the factory).
