What is a Slipperential?

Well, funny you mention the motor never heats up, this guy's motor never did either. Just the wires.

Perhaps you have a mate that could let you try one of his motors?

If you use it & the wires don't heat up, you know where the problem lies.

Good luck with it.

Hot wires could also be caused by other issues as well. Bad solder joint, lose connection, or maybe you have a nearly invisible short some place. Make youself a list of possible causes and go through your entire system one by one (simplest first) until you run into the likely culprit. Swapping out equipment may not always be the most viable solution, but it is the easiest way to eliminate components one by one as the problem. If you try another motor and things still heat up, than the motor is likely not your faulty link in the chain.

I dont have the money for another motor :( I can go through and look for bad solder joints though.
