Overheated MMM - 07.24.2010, 07:16 PM

Hey guys,

So today I took my buggy out for a little spin around the park, everything seemed to be going fine although I thought I noticed a slight reduction in overall power, but it could have been my imagination.

After 10 minutes of running I pull in to take some temps, everything was fine except for my MMM, which to my horror was at 180F, and the fan wasn't spinning! I immediately turned everything off to let it cool. The MMM was 180F at the casing, and nearing 200F at the bullets. Suffice to say I didn't run it anymore.

When I got back home, I noticed the fan did not spin at startup, so I took it apart and saw the fan wires were worn, probably causing the fan to fail.

I've since bought a replacement fan, and all seems well. My question is, since it got so hot, have I done any damage? I can't help thinking I might have reduced it's power output somewhat.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Cheers guys
