Yup, you are correct Jason. The 19t pinion was just too much for the 5700 in the DB01 for the hot summer temps at Bios. I recorded peak motor temps of 212F. The 17t pinion was the solution, and I didn't really give up much either in the way of performance, as you couldn't really use all the top speed anyway.

Dang! You guys move fast! Glad to see the triple is a little more friendly, but if the landing wasn't touched it still doesn't address the fact that when you overshoot it you will still flatland from like 6 feet, which was one of the major complaints in the first place, no?
I never cared about that, but I know it was a major sticking point with some folks...
