Thanks a lot Rob.

This Heli carries a separate tail motor, but I didn't get a spare gear for the main motor.
I received the radio with the heli. There's a bunch of dip switches behind, they're set according to the directions in the manual. I didn't have to touch them.
I removed the label that was covering the vents on the motor. Still burned.

Could the speed controller be defective?

Ken.
