Re: Fisher Price Gearbox

For the teams that have driven arms with the FP through the gearbox, have you run into any issues with heat? Specifically when you are holding the arm at a set position (up in the air). I know the FPs are cooled by fan blades that spin when the motor spins, so it seems to me that heat may be a problem when the motor is exerting torque but not spinning.
