Re: Suicide Cables Safe for Motors?

It's actually wired to run the two batteries in series. The 775 Pro's just don't spin fast enough for our liking at 12V. In all seriousness, we needed 24V to run higher current through the Nichrome wire to get it warm enough to bend polycarb. Just something we hacked together last night, no other uses yet.
