: Hey,

: Just wanted to clarify to everyone...we aren't planning on rewiring the *insides* of the motors...I guess that was a little misleading. Just *replacing* the regular 10 gauge wire between the motors and speed controllers and other things... So yeah, we aren't planning on dissecting the motors and frying them...honestly, even if we wanted to we probably wouldn't know how. Thanks for all the warnings and the sources though!

Joe,
You amaze me once again. I would have never thought of the thermal expansion. I knew that AL wire was not allowed in houses but I dident know why. I guess what they say is true you learn something every day.
