    after the two melted you were able to continue without boiling[over heating] by turning on the Aircon.
    think thats what you said earlier

    Have you had a chance to call Davies Craig yet

    strange as it sounds I think they were working at HWY speeds some how,
    creating a load that over heated them from being unable to keep up with the air coming in from the radiator.
    Which explains why they worked fine at lower speeds up to 80kph they would be fine I think

    If excess load was put on them to the point they have stripped then the current produced would cause some kind of ill effect either blowing a fuse or worse.

    It would be interesting to see if the still stripped if they werent even connected and couldnt run at all.

    What sort of conditions were present when this has happened?

    Agree, there is no way you can load the fan enough to strip it if it is installed correctly and/or isn't a defective batch

    It can't be no load issues either as the motors will spin them faster than they can freewheel.

    There are gazillions of these things out there on vehicles that tow vans etc and go a sight faster than a 'Trol and no problems.

    A truly curious problem...
    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

    That would be a good test indeed.

    Perfect condition for driving, can't remember exactly but let's say mid to high 20's and minimal wind.
