I am using a rumble motor from an Xbox controller in my shock blaster with Blaster Core 5.0. I wired the motor up with the main LED. I meant to hook up a resistor to keep from frying the motor, but I forgot. The cool thing is, it works fine. I suppose I'm running 1025 mA to it. Anybody know much about those motors? I like the feedback vibe, but I don't want to kill the motor. Should I add a resistor?

By the way, BC 5.0 is awesome. The sound quality is very good.
