Thanks ahead of time for any help!

As Cannon said the HW is fine. Had mine in for 2 years no probs. The fan doesnt work sometimes but that doesnt seem to matter. I have the ESC stuffed in the rear of an M03 and it copes with the lack of air flow no problems. In Aus we are restricted to the 20t pinion and stock gears for racing. Speed? The good guys can get similar times as 21.5 TC. Program card? Sometimes it doesn't seem to connect but eventually it will and changing settings is simple. The HW works for us as everyone uses the same motor and esc (or the Venom equivalent) with the same gearing and for most racers you never need to replace them as opposed to my 21.5 TC which is on to its 4th motor in 4 months!!!
