Drive Motor Brown Out

Do any “rules of thumb” exist for avoiding 393 drive motor brown out? Of course, any motor subjected to repeated accelerations or direction reversals (high current conditions) will eventually brown out but can brown out be minimized or eliminated by keeping drive motor speed above x% of no-load speed when the robot is driving at full speed?

My general rule of thumb is don’t put a motor under more than 7in*lbs of torque for an extended period of time. This calculation works best for lifts and such, I’m not sure how exactly it applies to drive.

Thanks puzzeler7. I assume your rule of thumb is for the 100 RPM 393.

Yes.
