No damage to the Wotty other than melted power leads. And the fuse... it was a length of 6awg wire :blush:
Problem started (as far as I can tell) by melting the insulation on the 6awg main power wires, considering our 8awg silocone loom was nearly too hot to hold after the first fight I'd say it was a safe be that the 6awg pvc wire didn't fair too well. The wiring loom was very very very secure and considering Mute ran for a total of about 3 minutes I'd say that wires rubbing together is probably a non starter.
All the power loom is being upgraded to 4awg and two sets of 8awg going in to the wotty so it shouldn't happen again (fingers crossed).
I'm impressed with the A123's though, they can put out a serious amount of juice! The wotty looks like a great bit of kit too - and the repair service is second to none!
