Serum, I tried every possible combination that I could think of. Drag brake on/off with the freewheel on/off. I could not get the Compro to freewheel.

According to MGM, they tested my Compro "extensively" and they couldn't find anything wrong with it. It looks like I'm going to be eating this one. I didn't even get the opportunity to blow it up the right way, by playing with it.

BTW, did you get your caps? I sent them a long while ago.

ZPB, my quark gets hot too. I've given up on taking temps. I've gotten to a point where the case is reading around 135F, but the area around the motor leads are always 165F or so. I haven't had any thermals, but on the other hand, I've been afraid to run the Quark really hard.

When I was having trouble with the prior units, Frank was always sure to point out that the feigao motors are really inefficient, as though he was inferring that the motor had something to do with the esc going up in smoke. I'm waiting for my Neu to get back (it's been two weeks today since I sent it off) before I really give it a workout.

To be honest, if the Lehners become available again, I'll grab me a couple of 1940s and then my Quark, Neu, and Compro are going up for sale.

I've had it with all of his crap. At least the MMs do way more than they are supposed to and I've heard very few complaints about the Lehners. I'm just having a hard time deciding between the non hi amp and the hi amp versions.
