Well its def not the gearing. I ran it around the house for less than 5 minutes just to test the steering. First thing I noticed was major cogging, much more than I have ever experienced with the MM. Also the delay between forward and reverse is way too long...it will coast then engage and a couple times reverse seemed to not even engage. Then again I was coasting into walls. It seems the brakes are not even engaging the way its coasting.

Then after the run I did a temp test. Wow really hot for some coasting up and down the hall...esc was 155* and the motor was 115. Then drivetrain feels pretty smooth too.

I really wish I had my castle link cable. I have not ran these electronics for a couple months and probably could use an update. I think I am going to manually rest it and see if that helps.

Open to suggestion for troubleshooting.
