My EG1000 was overheated. What should I do?
Keep in mind that excessive heat will weaken the magnets of the motor. It is not
uncommon for EG1000s to get overheated and stop working. First you should
find out why your EG1000 is overheated. Most of the time improper shimming is
the problem. Remember, with proper shimming, you do not need a super
powerful battery pack to kick start the motor. If the outdoor weather is very hot
(to an extent where yourself cannot afford staying inside the car without A/C),
give the gun a break after every 800~1000 shots. Remove the motor plate and
give the motor enough time to cool down. Also refer to the motor maintenance
section below.
