G25 hot to touch?

[Magnethead794]

Is it designed to get this warm? I just played GRID for 3 hours online with full feedback and centering spring (100% in grid, 150% in profiler for all feedback settings) and I can barely rest my hand on he casing over the motors...my MOMO had the same problem and I made it's motor start smoking twice....

I've seen G25 modification where fans (the kind of small fan you'd normally see in on computer case) are mounted on top of the G25 wheel housing although these mods also increases the force feedback of a normal G25. Still it would probably be wiser to give the wheel a break if it feels to hot.

yea I have some 60 and 80mm computer fans (too many of them actually) laying around, but don't quite feel like punching a hole in the casing.

just finished another hour at Daytona- I'm doing the 12 hours at Daytona, one hour per night at a time.

The first night i posted this, it was warm to the touch. Lest night was hot to the touch

I've blown up audio amplifiers before and made the MOMO smoke profusely twice...

I'm smelling burnt electrical windings :/
