RS-395 safe loading
I'm trying to figure out more ways to cut weight in my swerve drive, and am considering using an RS-390 or RS-395 for the module turning motor in place of the usual RS-550 (1/4lb savings).
According to JVN calc, I'm gearing it down 74:1 and that results in a 210RPM free speed. It draws 4.1A under typical load, that is, all 4 wheels on the ground on a 150lb robot. When sitting on two wheels it's loaded at 7.6A.
Is this a safe current to run through an RS-395 through a match for a swerve drive, or should I stick with a 500-series motor?
