wow thanks David! I hear what you're saying that they don't violate any electrical laws but something has to give. I don't know much on the topic but I'd say insulation rating is the first thing that will go when removing copper from a motor. Won't the reduced resistance, ie: added current flow, heat the coils beyond their insulation rating and cause a meltdown somewhere? I guess I should read some more on that forum since they are actually achieving something with their mods.

If their modifications hold true, I guess that would be one way to buy a lightweight motor and soup it up to max hp. Boy, just typing that sends chills down my spine. Something has to give somewhere... well, I'm off to read that thread.

Regards,
JR
