      Set the B125 to medium starting power and see if that stops the cogging. None of mine have ever done this. Odd. I assume you are not using BEC and that you have disconnected the center wire in the receiver harness.

      Also, check your temperature gauge. Five laps with the above setup in the summer means motor and cell temperatures somewhat higher than 80F. And 80C is way too hot.

      well I set the starting power to medium as suggested and it worked.... for 2 seconds, then the controler let out smoke from one of the fets. and you are correct about the receiver pack and red wire removed. so did you see anything wrong in the pics Mr Fluid?

          GACK!!! I just do not understand the problem. I have had a total of four B125s and while I did manage to destroy two of them at SAW events none of them ever did what yours do. All of mine were the old style, not the new one with the larger FETs. Which are yours? Did you install the newest firmware off the website?

          Your layout looks okay from the photos, I sent you the pic of the fastest Lifter in the club to compare. Guys in our club run your setup in larger sport hydros using Hacker 70 controllers! I guess you should send your B125 back to Castle but call them first and tell them what happened.

              Hey thanks for the pic! well I dont know exactly which BL 125 I have, how do I tell? Before I got this controller back from CC, I talked to a guy there and he told me my 125 would be awhile as they were waiting on production (6 weeks) as they were currently building the Hydra's, when I asked about the programs he said it would be programmed with all the new updates, so i did not worry about it. I guess maybe I should have This will be the 5th time back to CC and each time before they sent me a new one. I am confused! But this happens only to my 125 not my 80.
