Default Problem with LRP Sphere TC

Has anyone had a problem with a LRP Sphere TC, it is like the speedy has auto brake on, however the speedy has the inital brake and the auto brake set on "0".
I tried the motor on a older sphere speedy I have and it works ok so it must be the speedy.
Have set the transmitter and the speedy up more than once, with no change.

if yo turn the pinion at neutral throttle it has drag, you turn the power off and it has none.

Regards
Gary

I have heard that this is an issue with the ESC, and you will have to send it back to LRP.

I have noticed the same thing in my XXX4G+. I have the 2007 edition.

I thought I was just imagining things but this is good to know.

So, this is a known problem with the Sphere huh?

Some of the spheres that were in a certain batch had the drag brake issue, call lrp and speak with aldo in service and tell him your issue he will most likely correct faster and test the new one before coming back to you.
