Well, that forklift wasn't designed to go 50 miles an hour.

At lower voltage and gearing, that motor should run forever.

Once I get the forklift, I can take the motor apart and really inspect it well. Then I can also take some good photos of the inside and have some other motor guys take a look and offer advice.

Feel free to discuss on my "build thread", just try to keep it relevant to that particular vehicle.
