if the castle motor cogs worse than a medusa on a Mamba Monster, then there is obvously something wrong unless you are refering to absolutely no cogging with the medusa and are otherwise very picky. if your batteries aren't up to task (well they may not be for the castle-neu even if they are for the medusa) then you might get increased cogging. Also note the possibility of the zippy solder tabs on the verge of breaking. The construction quality of those packs seem questionable, and a poor connection anywere will cause cogging. A poor connection anywhere on the battery side will cause the lvc to kick in under a load.
