Ya, its weird, it seems to work at full throttle, and I can slowly accelerate or go in reverse and the brake works, but obviosly there is somehting wrong with it so I am waiting for finedesign. Oh, I had to squeeze the pinion in a vice in order to get the motor off. I dont have a pinion puller, so that was the next best thing I could think of to do. Well, when I squeezed the pinion in the vice, it got trashed.
