Figures you'd come up with that one!

When I have a problem with shorts, all I do is tie a second Control Master 20 on, and whatever thought it was shorting the rails seems to go away with a little spark and smoke.... That way I find the problem QUICK!!

Another rule of thumb I learned at an electric motor shop: All motors are packed with smoke. Once the smoke gets out, the motor doesn't work anymore!

Thanks guys for the attaboys!!
