RE: Fried my first titan
hmmm....well, for kicks and giggles I started prying apart my "fried" titan. I ripped the back plate off and I can see the brushes and what not, and NOW it works! Of course I can't put it back together....but when I stick it to a battery it starts spinning (very badly, since there is no rear support).
I couldn't get a reaction from it at all before I started tearing it apart....
Can I ask what the capacitors do for the electric motors? Do they give it an extra boost? Are they essential for operation?
