UPDATE
The clack-clack-clack rolling sound went away. Wife and I took it down the street so I could show her what the issue was. It started out clicking in reverse, then forward when I floored it, slowly lugging along and clacking. All of a sudden, it just kinda lurched a little and then took off. The clicking sound faded away and by the time we turned back around and got back to the house, its was its old self again...zipping along at 25 mph. It still has NO torque from a stop, but once it starts rolling it scoots. Weird. It almost seems like it started doing the sound suddenly when I pushed it with the pack disconnected into the garage, then went away when I ran it under power good. This thing doesn't have the "tow/run" switch I'm accustomed to, but that doesn't mean I'm not concerned I didn't screw something up. I'm going to probably have to re-wire the 12V lighting before I sell it, but I'd hate to pawn it off on someone with a motor that's questionable. Thoughts?
