So I through together a brushed Granite (for my 4 year old daughter) using a 21turn 550 motor.
I was missing a piece from the 91tooth mega slipper so I had to use the blx 57 tooth slipper. I geared the pinion down to 12tooth hoping that was low enough to keep it from running hot.
Well, tested it out for just a couple minutes and I could smell it. Pulled out the thermal camera and....300 plus deg.
Discovered the internal cooling fan was broken.
Ordered another brushed motor but this time a 29 turn. Hopefully it will have enough torque to stay cool.
