I talked to Charlie and it is rated for 4 pole motors, he says its probably a bad solder joint or something causing a huge draw I just hope i'm not getting the run around everybody blames the others equipment. I just want to solve the problem how ever I need to. Searching around though I have even seen racers with rx8 having the same problem so I'm going to try rewiring and swapping the servo. I do use those 3.5mm bullet connectors on the motor wires does anyone know if that's a good idea??
