Description

The situation as it is now: rover wheels have a linear torque decline with increasing speed. Instead of limiting the torque, I'd much rather see them produce heat like this: base heat production at max energy consumption x speed multiplier.

Furthermore I really dislike the idea of a wheel assembly exploding when overheated due to energy consumption (internal heating only, to differentiate between for example re-entry). Burning out the motor, without popping the tyre would be more realistic. Repair requirement: engineer level 5.
