Yeah, the main motor is wwaaaay to powerful for the machine. This should not matter when geared correctly though. I had a 15 tooth pinion on it, so I think the head speed was way to high.

I did actually make some headway though. I dropped the main motor pinion down to a 12 tooth and turned off the speed limiting for now.

Tail actually snaps back from 45 degrees if I put in too much throttle too fast. Only problem is the tail motor does get a little toasty.

So it is either heat sink the tail motor, or go back to the stock main motor. Brushed main motor is probably the best way to go, but damn I love all the adjustments on the Hyperion speed control.

I'm still thinking I'm going to put the brushed back on, until I can get my skills a lot better and actually be able to use the good hyperion gear.

Thanks for all your help! Even though my local HS sells choppers, they are not very knowlegable, so it is great to have this forum.
