  • wouldn't that damage the motor of the loader after playing speedball matches for a while.

  • @gigitygigitygou Actually no, it is better for the motor to be able to keep running without stalling, than to stall it for every ball fed.

  • from what I see, when the feeder stops feeding, the motor is still spinning but at a certain point the motor makes the feeder spin again. so i thought that the constant gripping and releasing of the feeder to the motor would cause it to burn the motor up. kind of like if you were to pull in and let go of the clutch none stop on a dirt bike

  • @gigitygigitygou When you do that with a bike, the load on the gas motor is reduced so the motor spins up and revs higher, and the clutch is more likely to burn out.

    Electric motors run differently. They are fine if they run at their max RPMS (it's like running the loader without any paint on it). They are worse under stall conditions.

  • The clutch is also different here. It's a metal plate and magnets. It can't wear out like the friction material in a motorcycle clutch. We have had these loaders with clutches running for years and we don't have any problems with them stopping working or burning out.

    In fact we have less motor problems now then we have ever had before.

  • @manike99 Just want to let you guys know that a Motor is electric powered and an engine is fuel powered.

    But how would an electric motor burn out? It's just a magnet, metal (steal isn't it?), and copper wire that the electricity runs through making the shaft rotate.

  • but i like jam

  • i need to get a clutch system for my halo loader

  • I wouldn't bother worrying about anything Smart Parts related and I'd highly recommend not buying a Smart Parts marker because as of a few months ago they went bankrupt, sorry to break the news to you if you wanted a Smart Parts marker, but I'd figure I'd tell you as to inform you on whats happened, if you'll notice, they haven't updated their website since last March when the news about the new Impulse came out.

  • I know this comment does not refer to the video but does anyone know if an employee of smartparts has a youtube acount
