Default RE: Drill Motor Conversion

If you solder a resistor across the motor terminals all you're going to do is generate a lot of smoke heat and waste a crap load of battery power => Those are capacitors not resistors, HUGE difference. And small value ceramic will do (the little orange/beige disks. You can probably put a lot more than 12 volts through it as long as you don't run it at 100% throttle all the time and cooling is adequate. Experiment untill the engine starts to smoke <smirk>
