Re: Limit of the atwood motors?

I have toasted a few atwoods in bots running them at ~15v to ~24v and allowing them to draw in excess of 100 amps. I have noticed that they are relatively reliable once you open them up to cool. They do not seem to have a single point of failure. I have destroyed the brushes and commutator, melted the phenolic brush housing, and even smoked the windings. The oilite bushings have held up well even with axial and lateral missalignment. I would be interested to see how they failed.
