    Does will over-volting destroy a motor? If so, why?

    Will over-volting destroy a motor? If so, why? Here's an interesting question: So let's say I take a motor designed for 3s and I give it 6s. When I do this, I prop way down so the motor only draws the same amount of current (or less) as it drew on the 3s setup with a bigger prop. As I...
