Thanks for the info, Jeztur. I filed a warranty claim today stating my problem and mailed the ESC in. The Sales Manager, Nick said, <u>only if</u> they find something wrong with the ESC would they supply me a new one.

What Ican tell you (and hopefully the RedCat Team is monitoring this as well) is that I tested four different batteries on the S.C. and only the one putting out &lt;7.5v would result in the light forward throttleperforming correctly. Full fwd throttle worked fine - and reverse worked fine in all tests.

In addition to the battery tests on the RedCat ESC, Itried the same four batteries on a Hitec ESC connected to a 370 motor, micro-servo, and aHS-422 servoIpulled from an old project (most from an Easy Star push glider).....and everything worked fine.

So based on the above tests, Iam fairly confident there is an ESC problem. I'd like to hear other folk's ideas as well as I'm just a newbie.

Thanks,

B
