Re: smoking drill motors?

This is very typical of some designs. You do not say what your configuraion is so I am going to assume four wheel tank or two wheel with non steering two front wheel. These types of drive systems use incredible amounts of current when turning. Again, if there is any friction in your drive train it will manifest itself as high current in the drill motors. Can you describe the drive train or include a picture?
