Brian - its been doing this from the start, and it does it irregardless of the battery pack I use.

I'm hoping for now that its not the battery wiring from the esc as I have little excess wire to mess with. I don't have a switch, so I have to unplug that batteries to shut the truck off and I have never noticed any warmth to the plugs/wires.

I am going to try the esc to motor connections next - probably over the next few days. I always felt a little uncomfortable with that connection because the 3.5mm plugs didn't fit all that well with those large wires (especially the copper windings coming from the motor). If the 4mm doesn't look like it will improve things, I will direct solder.

Unfortunately, I don't have another ESC to experiment with. I bought the 7 turn hi amp and 9920 from Mike after much collaboration with him, so I would hope its not the problem. I will add that to the list though, and if redoing the motor connections doesn't help, I will look into buying a 12020 or perhaps the new quark.

Thanks for the feedback guys! I'll update later this week.

Steve
