| The TZ-85s survived! Ziege, I had two full matches at the ComBots Cup with no failures. I'll probably drop to 5S for the next competition though because it is all getting hotter than I would like. |

I'm sorry that I didn't make it clear, there is 1 EV warrior on each TZ-85.
I'm considering splitting the brush pairs internally and running 2 TZ-85s per motor, but I won't get a chance to try that ... |

That seems to have fixed it. Thanks!
I'm wondering if the LED and hot glue I added around the pwm and input wires is insulating the temperature detection and causing it to trip prematurely. |
