Then you're probably fine. Those motors won't burn out on stock discharge capability from D-cell alkalines powering them at stock voltages. I would monitor the batteries though as they may be drained by running that long.

They are at least 8aH batteries (I believe so). I also tested the motors and it seems they draw 3A or so. Also, I'll probably swap them with fresh batteries in between the two 10 minute intervals to play it super safe. The main thing is I want to make sure that the motors won't burn out. Do you think I should add a cooling fan or add vent holes?

Are they being run on stock power or upgraded lipo?

Stock power. Everything has to remain stock for the project.

Yeah it is perfectly safe to remove that, as long as you rewire your blaster with 16 or 18 gauge wiring. If your constantly reving your motors for 10 minutes then u might have a problem... If your using any amount of voltage above 6 volts then your motors and wiring might start to heat up, worst case scenario your motors will burn out.

So far I just changed the wires that lead to the battery, that way I was able make the gun half the size so it can more easily be mounted on a turret. I'm not modifying the gun anymore than that and I am using the regular 9V that the gun runs on. I'm thinking of adding a cooling fan on the flywheel motor to cool it off.

Seems the general conseus is that you can just remove that board and just connect the wires together with better wires. Is this correct? I have 18 gauge wire.

Found that it's actually a thermoresistor. Is it safe to just remove it and then everything else should be good to go? Also, do you know if it's bad to have the flywheels constantly on for 10 minutes or more? Just not too sure on if it will have the motor get too hot or if it will burn out the motors.
