im sure if you return it, the new one will not act like that. i also have a 480BL and it doesnt do it, but my 370 does, weather or not is robbing power or not, i dont know. maybe its something that e-flite has on a small percentage of the motors that they turn out. but since its a rarity i guess its not all that great to have one as opposed to one that acts normal before AND after the flight. if i had realized that this was not completely normal back when my motor was new, i prob would have got it replaced, but as i said before, it seems to work fine, lol so who knows if its anything to be concerned about?

anyone else have some input here???? please post if so.
