if the castle motor cogs worse than a medusa on a Mamba Monster, then there is obvously something wrong unless you are refering to absolutely no cogging with the medusa and are otherwise very picky. if your batteries aren't up to task (well they may not be for the castle-neu even if they are for the medusa) then you might get increased cogging. Also note the possibility of the zippy solder tabs on the verge of breaking. The construction quality of those packs seem questionable, and a poor connection anywere will cause cogging. A poor connection anywhere on the battery side will cause the lvc to kick in under a load.

yeah you are right about the zippy pack construction...that's why after i killed one and discovered this issue...all of my packs have special treatment, they have all been re-soldered with deans solder and the ends dipped in plasti-dip (too bad if i have to re-solder again ) to make em water resistant.

my LVC is set ay 3.2v on auto lipo

yeah i'm pickey with the cogging thing...not that it matters..just cool to have less the castle motor is pretty good and i'm not dissing it but when you commence startup of the motor it coggs a tiny wini bit more than the medusa.
