Got one sitting here and have a question or two...first time user so bear with me.
First, while turning the thing by hand I feel a tick, tick, tick.... almost like there are bearing with square sides being used. Is this the magnets causing resistance or something else (bad bearing??? I sure hope not!)
Second, has anyone mounted this thing with a rear mount and used the aluminum prop shaft adapter bolted to the rear of the motor (in lieu of the standard nose ring mounted method)?
