There are unanswered questions in this forum from Vamfun,
titled “Motor Currents” from 6-30-2010

Consider this a bump to that question, since unanswered questions are bad.

The Inventor’s guide links:

3-wire: http://content.vexrobotics.com/docs/inventors-guide/motor-kit-6-08.pdf
269: http://content.vexrobotics.com/docs/inventors-guide/2-wire-269-inst.pdf
393: http://content.vexrobotics.com/docs/inventors-guide/2-wire-393-inst.pdf

The 393 Inventors guide still shows 1.8A stall current,
which doesn’t agree with the Vex order page.

Can you update the 393 Inventors guide online?

The printed insert with the motor package also needs to be updated as future batches of motors are packaged.

For reference, here are the other Vex order pages
3-wire: http://www.vexrobotics.com/products/accessories/motion/276-2163.html (discontinued, instock, doesn’t list stall current)
269: http://www.vexrobotics.com/products/accessories/motion/276-2181.html

Joel,
Thanks for the bump. We will update the digital version of the 2-wire Motor 393 instructions, ASAP. We’ll also do a rolling change to this new version for all future orders.
