Re: Advices on FP Motor

  • The FP motor windings have insulation that gives off a distinctive odor when combusted.
  • The magic white smoke leaves these motors much easier than most.
  • The motor will burn before the 30A breaker trips.
  • Gear down to reduce motor load accordingly.
Seriously...
Try to keep these motors from EVER running at stall while drawing 12V. This will minimize their strain over the course of a match, and prevent them from smoking.

If you EVER stall these motors during a pushing match...
... hope you have some spares ready.
