No, I don't think it's the weight. It might be the motor drawing more current as someone mentioned above. I'd adjust the timing to see if it makes a different. Adjusting timing does change current draw, but I wouldn't think that much. It may be a combination of things all coming together. 52krpm is really high for a Feigao.

What about your HW80A setup? How much current is it drawing? I've checked for binding but there seems to be none. While checking for binding, one thing I've come to realised is that tyres with firmer/harder foam inserts take less effort to rotate. It kind of makes sense seeing why tyres of real cars are all inflated to a certain pressure for max fuel efficiency.
