Fried Lehner 1940? Help!!!

[Sower]

Right. Well, that's great input - thanks. All I know right now is that my 1940 ran great but it just had too much on it. I felt it was geared pretty good but just not enough of a motor for a race situation. I'm starting to think that for the racing I'm wanting to do the load needs to be taken up by a motor like the 2240. I'm still keeping an open mind, but that's what my gut is telling me.

Anyone else have any insight?
