I really believe the problem is the thickness of wire from ESC to motors .I now have fans blowing on ESC and motors but the "sulky" (very good way of putting it) attitude persists. in fact I think its getting worse . I even have high Amp wire that will cure the problem ,Tehnobots sell 4mm and even 6mm wire at a cheep price , I just lack to ability to take the plunge and do the re wire job.
