I do have to give credit where credit is due. From what I could see, inspite of not being able to program it, the Compro is going to be cog proof. It starts a bit abruptly, in that even easing on the throttle results in the vehicle just going, rather than easing into a roll; but it never cogged, no matter what the gearing was and it ran down right cold.

I could solder up some caps on the MM, but what would this accomplish? My assumption would be that it would help out the batteries, if they were unable to supply the current demanded of the system, but I'm running Kokams and they have no problems supplying current.

And yes, it has been discouraging. This whole ordeal with the Compro has about assured the death of my passion for rc cars/trucks. I would have just ordered another one to use while I was waiting for mine to get fixed, but something told me that it would be stupid to do so. If I do stick with this stuff, I'll be ordering all of my more delicate equipment from my LHS; and if they can't get it, I won't mess with it. I found out last week that they can get Quarks, so at least I'll have a line on the S&T, Castle, and Tekin stuff. I'll probably pay more for it, but I'm willing to pay for the service.
