I'm going to try it out for the first time in my xray with P5 program running stock outdoors in asphalt.

Thanks,

John,

I usually use 2 on all of my other cars. When I put this one in, I removed the diodes and ran the car. The motor came out in the same shape as it did with the quantum. Without a diode on my quantum, the motor was fried after every run.

I will probably put the diodes back on because I don't see how they can cause the speed control to malfunction or fail.

I'll post what I find out.

Tim
