Gear mesh is good, a very tiny amount of play, gear not hot, motor not hot, high temp at ESC according to the castle log is 265 degrees.
 No low voltage, lowest was 44.4 and highest amp spike was 136 for a nano second.
 All this according to the castle log.
 Battery pack makes no difference either, running both the spyder 30c and pulse 45c.
 Also not belt related as i thought maybe belt to tight, switched to torque tube and still no difference.
 May be gearing related as it got worse when i switched from 13 to 14 tooth pinion.
 Was going to try 12 but can't get 2100 or 2150 according to the castle gov.

  Running the quantum 4530-500 or 500 kv, had the ESC high up on the tray because of the length of throttle lead, just finished making a Y connector/ extension to allow me to hook up the castle link without unplugging the lead every time and have moved the ESC as far away from the motor as possible and reinstalled the 13 tooth pinion.
 Will give this a try maybe next weekend or one night this week and see what happens.
 Thanks for the help kevin, any ideas would be appreciated.

 Yes i am enjoying the E7a lot, incredible heli and flies like no other, super smooth, quiet and tracks like no other heli i have flown.
  Anybody that flies it or watches it fly only has positive comments about the performance.
 Finally got all the small kinks worked out, first time with high power electric, then about two weeks ago put it in inverted full power, OUCH, but what a tank, i thought for sure it was totaled but no, frames fine, just the usual mechanical repairs.
 Just finished rebuild and flew today, man what a heli, super impressive.
 This one is right at the top of my favorite list and then realized that i haven't flown any of my big nitros due to being hooked on flying this one.
  Thanks again guys i couldn't be happier.
