Re: pic: burnt up TETRIX motor
The "resistor" is an inductor. Opening the motor is a illegal modification and it pretty much screws up the brush assy if not done carefully.
<R93> Motors may not be modified with exceptions of those in Rule <R47>.
A 5 or 6 amp fuse in line with each motor might be a good protection. If installed properly with insulation, etc., I do not see any rule that would prevent it. The stall current on the motor is listed at 7 amps I believe.
