Question is, he lost his recepit. The system hasnt really been out too long (120 day warranty right?)...if he brought this in to the Novak place to get checked out would there be any charged? Is it an issue that has been brought up? Seems like maybe he got a bad one or something. I had him make sure Lipo cut-off was off thinking it was the lipo-cut off voltage drop issue others have mentioned, but that wasnt the case.

It may have been the speed control thermalling as well... Fan still have all its blades?
