I'm not totally sure how to do that. The CA reads the current draw for the entire system...both wheels. Are you saying I should disconnect one wheel while testing the other? I think I could do that by simply disconnecting the throttle wire from one while testing the other. Would that do the trick?

Or there is something going on inside the wheel/motor that is progressively getting worse. I suppose I could switch back the controllers, return to the initial pole count and see if the 50% current limit would then have an effect. That might tell us SOMETHING.
I did make one other minor change in the programming in the "Motor Nominal Current" setting. (this is the first item on the "Motor" programming screen). This setting is used during the identification angle (phase mapping) process. The default setting is 80 and the manual says to increase it for higher power motors and decrease it for lower power. The scale is 0-1000. I reset it for 200 as a "best guess" of where my 3000 watt motors might stack up. Didn't seem to help in any way but if we want to get back to "original settings" I should change this back to 80.
