Unless I'm mistaken, I think it was Shawn Palmer that told me that. I've found that they really open up with the info once they get the idea that you at least have some sort of a clue and that you understand that what you are doing is out of spec and not covered by warranty.

I don't know. Perhaps a "wait and see" posture would be in order at this point.

In fact, for the price of the Neu, I could get a rediculous L can motor for short speed runs at the parking lot, an high turn XL motor for tight tracks where I won't need more that 30 mph or so, and run the 7XL as a goto for all around running; and not have to deal with the cogging issues. After running a few different motors, I'll have an idea of what I'm looking for and what to buy. I'll then sell them off at half price and just get the Neu. At that point, I'll just have to hope that Castle has solved the problem.
