I just finished building my Cyclone S and have had nothing but problems so far. Most have been resolved except for the last one.

At full throttle, I do not hear it at all. I am running a brand new Team Scream Racing 27T Epic ROAR motor, Robinson Racing Super spur and aluminum pro pinion which were meshed with a piece of paper, and I checked the belts, diffs, etc for tightness. Does anyone have ideas to what is causing this? It just doesn't sound right and I don't want to look like a tool when I show up at the track and have a clicking car. It is already embarrasing enough that I am running a brushed motor Please help.
Had a similar thing happen on my S once. Try placing a washer between the motor screws and the motor plate. It sounds a little like the motor screws might be touching the armature.
