During practice runs these past few days, we have managed to blow 2 drill motors. The armature breaks right off at the bend. Two well experienced teams in our area have also blow the same motors. I'm suspecting a motor quality issue here!!! Is anyone else blowing these motors as often?
A few details on the drive system....we are using a pillow block, we have used an amp meter to check that the motors are aligned & not binding, the program has a 'dead zone' for neutral joystick position and the speed controls are calibrated.
Thanks,
Team 340.
