Description

RoveMax Model XL3 wheels consume electricity even when the motors are disabled. Very bad because it sucks the batteries empty when transporting a rover with these wheels with a rocket because everytime you need to set thrust for the rocket the wheels keep consuming energy. It's practically impossible to transport rovemax model xl3 wheels unless you have large solar panels or large fuel cells on board.
See attached screenshot for proof. Wheels on the screenshot are disabled but they consume energy as you can see in the wheels detail window as well as the resource window.

Mods: Kerbal Alarm Clock, Asteroid Day

This issue occurs with all wheels but EC will be consumed regardless without them when pitching (with Probes or Pods), might be a core issue.
