Re: FP ok to stall?

The FP have a thermally activated switch that protects them from getting too hot but it also prevents you from pushing them to the limits of their capability.

I thought it was fine to have intermittent use at 1/2 stall torque, but I have heard war stories that make me believe otherwise. I am planning on having a modification that will allow me to drop my motor current to 1/4 to 1/3 of the stall value during lift.

As I said, I think I should be okay for 4 seconds at 1/2 stall but I don't dare bet the farm on it...

So... ...we make contingency plans and hope we don't need them...
