I'm not surprised that an 8.4v battery running an M120 gearbox results in blowing a fuse, especially in semi. Semi requires your battery to deliver more current (due to lots of in-rush current on motor start), and your rounds/charge goes way down when using semi vs. full.

A 20A fuse should be sufficient, but the 9.6v battery is better if you plan to stick with semi. Or do both.
