Blowing up, as in exploding? I hope everybody was wearing safety glasses.

Seriously, if you want useful answers, you need to post useful information, such as:

- what is the motor driving?

- what is the gear ratio from the motor to the driven device?

- if the driven device is an arm of some sort, do you have an estimate of the torque load on it ?

- what was the %PWM command when this happened? how fast was the driven device moving (turning) when the motor "blew up"?

- Jag or Vic ?

- are the 550's air vents properly vented?

- anything else pertinent that you can think of
