(...) Thanks! No, these motors were only used for FLL type challenges, not in fast RC cars. I can submit the bad motors for *CSI* and 'autopsy' if need be. C S Soh (19 years ago, 20-Oct-05, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)

(...) I sent Nathanael Kuipers an email regarding the motors and asked him to forward it to the proper person. Do you think it is excessive torque, excessive use, or just a bad piece design that causes this problem? Nathan (19 years ago, 21-Oct-05, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)

(...) I suspect it's bad design. Perhaps the way the brushes rub on the PCB as pointed out by Philo ((URL) "This higher friction explains why 43362 stops faster when you give the shaft a twirl, and why its no-load current is higher (9mA vs. 3.5mA)".

(...) I burned out two of these motors in a high-torque situation (my Great Ball Contraption module prototype) which I posted about (URL) here> and (URL) here>. I don't like them for their friction, their louder sound, and that they "feel" cheaper (...) (19 years ago, 27-Oct-05, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic, FTX)
