Hi Tony and all in RC land..
Wow, that was a close one! The storm has slowed and weakened a lot. I'm on the island of Oahu and so far we got nothing. There's a lot of rain out over the ocean but so far we here on Oahu are getting only little drizzles. I think we're in the clear for now so we're now back on yellow alert. But should what's left of Lane continue north, we'll get a bunch of rain with only weak winds. It's suppose to make a 90 degree turn to the west any minute and move the hell out of here. We'll see... I got killer radar and satellite telemetry so I watching the situation very closely. Meteorology happens to be another one of my hobbies...
Ok now back to the hobby we all love...
I can't wait to get back at it so I took everything out of their zip lock bags and spread it all out on the ole turn-table. I need to go over the manual some more and make sure the new component configuration will accommodate the new wire runs... So far so good on that... Again, I'm glad I got what was suggested for my 450. You guys are da bes…. My old motor maxes out at 28 amps, my new motor maxes at 55 amps,,, hummmm,,, oh boy I better hold on "A" what!
Oh hey as I suspected, this new ESC has more settings than my old one. I already have some questions on what some of the items do? Governor this and governor that?
What is the relationship in step (05 programmable items) between the programmable ESC list and the programmable LCD box?
Do I need to program the LCD programming box too??
Anyway I'm going to read on and hope we've seen the last of this recent threat. However,, I just had a look at the radar and there may be a ban of heavy rain and maybe a good thunder storm developing south of the quadrant moving north; hummmmmm…………………..

Stuff like that hah... Folks got to realize, we're all here to help and sometimes there's no such thing as instant gratification. This hobby requires patience, an understanding of mechanical and electrical principles, an understanding of aerodynamic principals.. You need to know how to work a computer and you need to use that computer to program these hi-tech devices used today. Not to mention, you need steady hands with good eye sight. Well, maybe I could still make it happen without the last two... 
over this nice motor and ESC...
