It will go at very lower speeds for a couple of seconds then will either take off and cut out or will just cut out. LiPo Mode is off. One of our suppliers is looking into the issue for us at Novak to see if they can get answers and faster. They also said they have other customers having similar issues.

I've somewhat fixed the problem. I am still having some issues with reverse, but I think that's the 27mHz AM radio I have. I took the rotor out of the motor and shot some air in the motor to clean it out and put the rotor back in. When I put the rotor back in it didn't seem to align correct by itself because of the magnets so I placed the rotor in the motor cap first and then put the rotor back in, it took a few wiggles to get it all the way set back in. Then I tightened down the cap screws, and I think this was key, I did it evenly one turn, one screw, a little then the next to get that cap on as straight as possible. I tried to torque them all the same by hand as best I could. It seemed like the loud clicking noise that it was making before was totally gone. The rotor turned very smoothly and quiet for the most part. I put it all back together and as long as I stay close to the receiver with my weak radio, everything seems to work great. I'll get a new radio and let you know if all problems are gone.

I'll send Charlie an email and let him know.
