Thanks for your input!  And I am glad you recalled my article!

The "roller test" I did (as cited in my original post) tells me there is nothing funky with the motors, the wiring, or the mechanicals.  I should have also mentionned in my original post that nothing felt warm during the roller test.

But your comment about "somebody might be able to note on here the max draw that board set can handle before it goes wonky" is why I asked the question if the PS 3 board can handle a motor drive of 1.4 Amps. If I am indeed exceeding the limits of the board, than that's the time bomb you have referred to. But if the board capability is more than that, then it would suggest something else is going on

How is that chassis powered/driven?…..what motor(s)?….what’s the drivetrain makeup?
